In spite of being 8 1/2 years old, the HSP Southwest group remains fairly small and quiet. As of this writing, we have just 21 active members.
Ultimately, a group is only "worth" to its membership what goes into the group, and what the members get out of the group. Simply being registered with a group doesn't mean you're getting anything out of your membership. We're looking to change that, in the course of 2012.
Creating a vibrant and flourishing community takes both time and effort. During the year ahead, we plan to take steps to help our little group grow and become more active. The point of this is to create a better community for our members and-- by extension-- create an environment that encourages more group participation.
As part of our effort to build community, we will soon be adding a free-standing web site, as an additional support point to our home page on YahooGroups. The web site will have information about the group, along with general information about what it means to be an HSP. Hopefully, HSPs from our region will find the web site, and subsequently decide to become group members.
Stay tuned for updates!

Welcome!
Welcome to the Southwest HSP Group blog!
We are an online support and social group for the Highly Sensitive Person in the southwestern US States, loosely defined as Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah.
Our small group has been online since September 2003. We are-- at least for the time being-- purely an online group. We use YahooGroups to host our discussion board/email list.
The group is moderated and membership-by-approval. We do this to maintain an "HSP safe" environment, in a world that's often critical of sensitive people.
The purpose of this blog is two-fold:
One, we use it as a "touch point" on the web, to help HSPs in our region find us and hopefully become members.
Two, we use it as a "newsreel" to share both group updates, and news of events and happenings in the greater HSP "community."
We hope you'll visit our group page and become a member!
