Support groups provide an opportunity to share experiences and to support each other in an atmosphere of confidentiality and acceptance. People need to be able to share their personal stories. The benefits of sharing your story can help both you and someone else who is living a similar experience. Lift the clouds, break the isolation, and contact a support group.
