Support Group

Support group is a service that provides a group or community consisting of individuals who have similar experiences or conditions, usually related to physical or mental health problems, addiction, or certain life situations. The purpose of a support group is to provide emotional support, information, and understanding to its members.

Support groups are often facilitated by a leader who guides discussions and ensures a safe and open environment. Members of the support group can share their experiences, provide support to one another, and offer helpful advice based on their own experiences. The group can also provide a safe space for individuals to express their feelings, concerns, and challenges they are facing.

Support groups can help individuals feel more connected, reduce feelings of loneliness, and enhance coping skills. Members often feel heard and understood as they interact with others who have gone through similar experiences. Support groups can also provide education on related topics and help members acquire useful information to navigate the challenges they are facing.
