Support groups show that we are not alone in our struggles and that we can find wonderful people that have also managed personal problems before. Through working alongside others, we see that our pain is not limited to us and we can learn to accept and provide support.
As a social group member, we find that we can affect the lives of others and help them improve their well-being, livelihoods, and personal growth. By accepting help from others, we also become more accepting of ourselves and achieve a sense of purpose.
