Shared-struggle fellowship
A support group is a gathering of people who share a common problem, condition, or life circumstance and meet regularly to offer each other emotional encouragement, practical advice, and solidarity.
Members might be dealing with addiction, grief, chronic illness, or other challenges.
The format typically involves sharing personal experiences in a safe, nonjudgmental environment: She joined a support group after her diagnosis.
Professional therapists may facilitate some groups, while others are peer-led.
