Support groups bring together people who are going through or have gone through similar experiences. A support group provides an opportunity for people to share personal experiences and feelings, coping strategies, or firsthand information about diagnosis or treatments.
Support groups are a safe and supportive environment where a person can offer and receive comfort, and connect with others. Support groups are also a great place to learn practical tools to help with healing and maintaining good mental health.
