What are online support groups?

Online support groups provide a forum for people with similar issues, concerns, and interest to come together and share information and support with each other.

What are the different types of online support groups?

Support groups can be divided into three types:

  1. E-mail support groups
  2. Chat room support groups
  3. Bulletin board support groups

We are going to talk about e-mail support groups specifically in this section. We believe that e-mail support groups provide a continuous stream of information and build a sense of community.
