Support groups are groups of people who come together to share experiences, resources, and emotional support around a common issue or challenge. Support groups can provide a safe and supportive environment for people to connect with others who are going through similar experiences, and to gain knowledge and coping skills to help them manage their situation.
Support groups can be organized around a wide range of issues, including chronic illnesses, mental health, addiction, grief and loss, parenting, and caregiving. They may be led by trained facilitators, peers, or a combination of both.
