Online Supportdon't see your group?add your online support group
One of the exciting developments in mental health has been the emergence of online support groups and other treatment options. As the internet matures and as mental health practitioners refine our practices, consumers will be able to experience a greater variety of online therapeutic options. Because they are often free, internet chat groups, online VOIP conferences, and real time videoconferencing will become more commonplace.
freementalhealth has organized a growing list of free support communities for you to experience. Sometimes it takes a bit of digging to find the right environment for you, so please don't give up in your quest to find the right service for your needs.
