SUPPORT GROUPS
Support groups are made up of people with common interests and experiences. People who have been
through, or are going through, a similar circumstance can do more than sympathize with you — they can truly
understand your thoughts, feelings and questions. The important thing to remember is support groups are
not all alike. There are many models, check it out for yourself. A good support group can become a transformative part of your life, so if there is one around that pertains to you, take the plunge and check it out!
