Life Support

Life Support is an IC support group, designed to help some of the pups who come from traumatic backgrounds or who are struggling with issues, but also provides social opportunities and free food. It is based on the group of the same name from the musical Rent, and was originally run in the bar by the Rent pups.

The current incarnation of Life Support was resurrected by Guppy Sandhu and Miniver Cheevy after a break of a couple of years. At present, it is run by Guppy Sandhu, Cadfael, Sam Wilson, and Alana Bloom, and takes place approximately monthly, ideally on the first Wednesday.

Everyone is welcome at Life Support, and thread hopping is encouraged, though there are some general guidelines. What is said at Life Support is supposed to, theoretically, stay there. The food is free and not magical or harmful. And although anyone is welcome, that's considered to be on the basis that you don't threaten anyone in the group.

In early 2015 an offshoot of Life Support, the MilliScouts, was set up for Milliways' younger vulnerable patrons.
