Support Groups

Any sites that can offer an opportunity to gain support, or give support, to people dealing with these issues. This may include forums, email lists, personal homepages.

Groups and websites to help people cope with the troubles of life, or at least feel less alone. For disease-related support groups, see Health/Consumer Support Groups.

A regional listing would be appropriate for information about a support group that primarily is about when and where a group meets in person.
