The Northern Star Network believes that a SELF-HELP SUPPORT GROUP can go a long way toward easing the isolation felt by those afflicted with mental or emotional disorders.

Self-help support groups give you the opportunity to meet others who may be going through similar experiences.

Listening to others share their stresses, challenges and successes can prove invaluable in trying to find useful coping strategies.

Even if you have not yet found the right approach for you, there are always new possibilities that you may not have considered.

Hearing how someone else has coped may help you. And it is a great relief to find out that you are not alone.
