Covid-19 Support Resources

Advances in technology have made it easier than ever to access the healthcare we need, even when it comes to mental health support. Comprehensive strategies include more than patient/provider interactions; many people find that joining an online support group provides major benefits as they navigate their treatment plans.

Online support groups link people who are dealing with similar issues, even if they would not have otherwise sought out this type of treatment. Meeting online opens the support group to more people, even those who may be unable to travel to in-person meetings. The heightened anonymity makes it easier for some people to share their struggles with the group, especially if they struggle with stigmas or suffer from social anxiety.

The virtual format of these groups allows for more fluid exchange of information without disrupting the meeting; if you have a relevant resource that you think another member might find useful, you can send a link immediately rather than having to wait until the next meeting. Online support groups provide the same level of assistance that an in-person group offers, while making some of the more difficult aspects easier to handle.

While COVID-19 has been difficult for many of us, in many ways it has brought us closer together. Contact us about an online support group for mental health support.
