emotional support groups

Emotional support groups are gatherings of people who share similar experiences or challenges, providing each other with understanding, empathy, and encouragement. These groups create a safe space where members can openly discuss their feelings and coping strategies, helping to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. Led by a facilitator or peer, they foster mutual support and empowerment, often complementing professional therapy. The goal is to promote emotional well-being by sharing insights, building connections, and providing reassurance among individuals facing comparable issues, such as grief, mental health conditions, or chronic illnesses.
