Kerry's Support Groups

Kerrith H. (Kerry) King has designed and facilitated ten-person support groups in Hawaii for 44+ years. Over 300 support group participants have completed six or more months in a support group, most continue (re-up) for 3 or more months.

A typical ten-person support group meets for three-hours every other week for six-months. Between meetings members support each other in completing their two-week goals.

Kerry's groups support personal responsibility, telling the truth, keeping agreements, and supporting others in setting and achieving goals.

The present (2021) support group began in Kona, 1992, 29 years ago; the second to last original member left to get her M.A. degree at Yale while the remaining, still active, member, is publishing his 14th book and has been awarded a PhD from Cornell. Both of these members met every other week with no unexcused absences. Remarkably, the meetings have always started on time without a single tardy member.

The Support Groups:

Men's Support Group: Oahu and Pahoa
Woman's Support Group: Oahu, Pahoa, Kona
Couple's Support Group: Oahu
Sales Support Group: Oahu
Monday Night Get-Together for Managers: (a.k.a. MNGT) Oahu
Saturday Night Get-Together (co-ed): (a.k.a. SNGT) Oahu
Family Support Group: Oahu
Co-ed Support Group for Businesspersons: (Kauai 2-years), (Pahoa 2-years), (Kona 29-years). (The Kona group began in 1992 and, as of 11/28/21, is still meeting every other week.)

Over a period of time most support group participants use their leadership-skills to adopt those parts of the support group model that work for them and form their own mini-support group within their family/circle of friends and associates. Multiple interacting cultures in Hawaii have resulted in even less than "Six-Degrees of Separation" ... most everyone relates/or knows someone who has participated in a workshop/support group, or knows you.
