Support Groups
Support groups are an amazing way towards healing. Not only do you find community and support, you just may find that there are people out there who are going through what you’re going through. It’s so interesting how just 1 person (or group) can make us feel included and like we aren’t alone.
Below are lists of support groups. You can also do a query search for different groups on meetup.com.
