Support groups for mental health
Support groups are groups of people who meet regularly to share and discuss issues of common
interest. Members of a support group share some characteristic with each other. Two types of
support group are relevant to mental health:
• groups of people suffering from the same type of mental health
problem, the best example of which is Alcoholics Anonymous,
where people with drinking problems meet regularly;
• groups consisting of people who care for those who suffer
from a particular type of mental health problem – examples
include groups of family members caring for people with
dementia, severe mental disorders and mental retardation.
