In support groups, people can learn from the knowledge and experience of others, and receive encouragement, understanding, and suggestions for dealing with difficult situations.
Many support groups are available, ranging from groups focused on particular diseases or conditions, to those focused on bereavement, parenting, and veterans' needs.
