Why join a support group?
Talking with people who have been through similar experiences can be comforting and reassuring. Whether you are caring for someone, coping with a loss, or living with a health condition, connecting with others can help you feel understood and less alone. There is no pressure to share until you are ready, and many people begin by simply listening.
What to know
- You can usually drop in and out of groups as you need them.
- What's shared in the group stays confidential.
