support group

A support group is a gathering of individuals who share similar experiences, challenges, or conditions, such as health issues, grief, or life changes. It provides a safe, respectful environment for members to share their thoughts, emotions, and coping strategies. Facilitated by a trained leader or peer, support groups foster understanding, reduce feelings of isolation, and promote mutual encouragement. They are confidential spaces where members can learn from each other’s experiences and gain emotional comfort, helping individuals navigate difficult situations with a sense of community and support.
