Community support groups are organized gatherings where individuals with similar experiences or challenges come together to share their feelings, provide encouragement, and offer practical advice. These groups can focus on various topics, such as mental health, addiction recovery, or chronic illness, and are often led by trained facilitators or peers who understand the issues at hand. Participants in community support groups benefit from a sense of belonging and understanding, as they connect with others who face similar struggles. These groups can be found in local neighborhoods, online platforms, or through organizations like NAMI or AA, making support accessible to many.
