Resources & Top Tips
Joining a support group does not take the place of counseling or other medically prescribed therapies if you need these. Some people who attend these groups also need to participate in regular counseling sessions with a health professional. Here are some helpful links and tips for finding the help you need if appropriate.
"Support groups can be very helpful for some people. These groups usually consist of people with similar problems who meet to give support, practical advice, and encouragement to the people who participate in the group.
Self-help and support groups are different from counselling sessions. These groups may last for only a few sessions or they may be ongoing."
"Mental health can refer to a wide range of conditions that affect how you think, feel, or interact with other people. The list of conditions that fall under the mental health umbrella is extensive, and finding the information you need may be overwhelming. Our Learning Centre has mental health information in one place so that you can easily find what you are looking for."
