In Person Support Groups | Vibepedia

In person support groups are organizations where members provide each other with nonprofessional and nonmaterial help for a particular shared characteristic. These groups offer a sense of community, empowerment, and coping strategies for individuals dealing with burdensome issues. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and the American Psychological Association (APA) provide resources and guidance for individuals seeking support. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) have also launched initiatives to support the growth and development of support groups.
