You don't have to go alone if you're facing a significant illness or stressful life change. A support group can help. Find out how to choose the right one. Support groups bring together people who are going through or have gone through similar experiences. For example, this common ground might be cancer, chronic medical conditions, addiction, bereavement, or caregiving. A support group allows people to share personal experiences, feelings, coping strategies, or firsthand information about diseases or treatments. For many people, a health-related support group may fill a gap between medical treatment and the need for emotional support. A person's relationship with a doctor or other medical personnel may not provide adequate emotional support, and a person's family and friends may not understand the impact of a disease or treatment. A support group among people with shared experiences may function as a bridge between medical and emotional needs. Structure of support groups A nonprofit advocacy organization, clinic, hospital, or community organization may offer support groups. They also may be independent of any organization and run entirely by group members. Formats of support groups vary, including face-to-face meetings, teleconferences, or online communities. A lay person — someone who shares or has shared the group's common experience — often leads a support group, but a group also may be led by a professional facilitator, such as a nurse, social worker, or psychologist. Some support groups may offer educational opportunities, such as a guest doctor, psychologist, nurse, or social worker, to discuss a topic related to the group's needs. Support groups are not the same as group therapy sessions. Group therapy is a specific type of mental health treatment that brings together several people with similar conditions under the guidance of a licensed mental health care provider. Benefits of support groups The shared experience among support group members often means they have similar feelings, worries, everyday problems, treatment decisions, or side effects. Participating in a group allows you to be with people who likely have a common purpose and the potential to understand one another. The benefits of participating in a support group may include the following: Feeling less lonely, isolated, or judged. Reducing distress, depression, anxiety, or fatigue Talking openly and honestly about your feelings Improving skills to cope with challenges Staying motivated to manage chronic conditions or stick to treatment plans Gaining a sense of empowerment, control, or hope Improving understanding of a disease and your own experience with it Getting practical feedback about treatment options Learning about health, economic or social resources Possible risks Support groups may have drawbacks, and influential groups generally depend on the facilitator to help avoid these problems. These problems may include the following: Disruptive group members Conversation dominated by griping Lack of confidentiality Emotional entanglement, group tension, or interpersonal conflicts Inappropriate or unsound medical advice Competitive comparisons of whose condition or experience are worse Pros and cons of online support groups Online support groups offer benefits and risks that are particular to that format. It's essential to consider these factors before joining an online group. Benefits of online groups include: More frequent or flexible participation Opportunities for people who may not have local face-to-face support groups A degree of privacy or anonymity Risks of online support groups include the following: Communication only by written text can lead to confusion or understanding and clarity among group members. Anonymity may lead to inappropriate or disrespectful comments or behaviors. Participation online may result in isolation from other friends or family. Online communities may be particularly susceptible to misinformation or information overload. People may use the online environment to prey on people, promote a product or commit fraud. How to find a support group Information about support groups may be available from the following: Your doctor, clinic, or hospital Nonprofit organizations that advocate for particular medical conditions or life changes National Institutes of Health websites for specific diseases and conditions Questions to ask before joining a support group Support groups vary in how they are organized and led. Before joining a support group, ask the following questions: Is the group designed for people with a specific medical condition or a particular stage of disease? Does the group meet for a set period of time, or does it continue indefinitely? Where does the group meet? At what times and how often does the group meet? Is there a facilitator or moderator? Has the facilitator undergone training? Is a mental health expert involved with the group? What are the guidelines for confidentiality? Are there established ground rules for group participation? What is a typical meeting like? Is it free, and if not, what are the fees? Red flags that might indicate a problematic support group include the following: Promises of a sure cure for your disease or condition High fees to attend the group Pressure to purchase products or services Getting the most out of a support group When you join a new support group, you may be nervous about sharing personal issues with people you don't know. You may benefit from simply listening. Over time, however, contributing your ideas and experiences may help you get more out of a support group. Try a support group for a few weeks. If it doesn't feel like a good fit for you, consider a different support group or a different support group format. Remember that a support group isn't a substitute for regular medical care. Let your doctor know that you're participating in a support group. If you don't think a support group is appropriate for you but need help coping with your condition or situation, talk to your doctor about counseling or other types of therapy.

It's worth to mention that laws and regulations are in place to protect individuals with disabilities, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, housing, public accommodations, and other areas. Despite the laws, these types of discrimination can still happen, and brain injury survivors may need advocates and legal representation to protect their rights.
