Support Groups
Participating in a support group provides you with an opportunity to be with people who have a common purpose and likely to understand one another. Benefits of participating in a support group may include: feeling less lonely, isolated or judged, reducing stress, depression, anxiety or fatigue. Many in a support group find solutions to problems others have already found.
