Peer Support Groups
Peer support groups are gatherings where individuals with similar experiences come together to share their feelings, challenges, and coping strategies. These groups provide a safe space for participants to connect, listen, and offer support to one another, fostering a sense of community and understanding. They can focus on various topics, such as mental health, addiction, or chronic illness.
Typically led by trained facilitators or volunteers, peer support groups encourage open dialogue and mutual respect. Participants can gain valuable insights and encouragement from others who have faced similar situations, helping them feel less isolated and more empowered in their journeys toward healing and recovery.
