Be careful about "Making them all friends." Give them something to belong to, share the history of the site or program with them, let them know how important communication is, and offer a proactive method for resolving conflict before it rises too far. Think positive and like WLSC said, "just hope they can at least work together." If you can bring them together after the first week or so and let them know how well you think they are working together, they might just think so too
Give a call if you want more ideas about creating a positive SENSE OF BELONGING.
