If you find yourself or a child struggling with a difficult problem, talking with others who have experienced similar problems can often help. People in support groups can give each other lots of support and encouragement.

A support group can help you or someone you care about with such concerns as the death of a family member, suicide, someone's drug or alcohol problem, dealing with physical or sexual abuse or coping with a disease such as diabetes.

Our community offers many different support groups through various agencies and self-help programs. Check your library reference section for the Ontario Wayne Services Guide developed by the Pioneer Library System.
