A support group is a gathering of individuals who come together to provide emotional, mental, and even physical support to one another. Some synonyms for the term "support group" include "peer support group", "self-help group", "mutual support group", "coping group", "care group", and "emotional support group". These groups are designed to provide a safe space for individuals to share their experiences, emotions, and challenges. Members of a support group often have a common struggle or situation that they are dealing with, such as addiction, grief, illness, or disability. By connecting and supporting each other, members of a support group can find comfort, encouragement, and guidance on their journey towards healing and recovery.
