Support groups provide a safe and caring place for members to discuss their shared health (or other) concern. Discussion may consist of sharing daily struggles, as well as learning new information about their issue, and how to cope with it. Support groups exist both locally and online. However, depending on the issue local support groups may be hard to find.
