“Taking care of your mental health is important. Sometimes that can be as simple as working more self-care into your day. Other times, you might need a little extra assistance from a mental health support group. A support group can be helpful for connecting with others who are going through your same situation and for learning new coping strategies.
You can find a variety of mental health support and therapy groups in both in-person and virtual formats. They can be run by nonprofits, hospitals, peer support specialists, or licensed professionals. The good news is, you often can join them for free or a very low fee.
Here is a guide to finding free and low-cost mental health support groups near you.”
