Many are apprehensive about sharing their story with a room of other people, but there are a number of benefits that many don’t know or overlook.

Support: Hearing that others share similar experiences, or suffer from similar symptoms can provide a sense of comfort, and relieve feelings of isolation

Social Skills: Provides a setting in which participants are afforded the opportunity to communicate openly, strengthening social interactions and skills necessary to re-engage with others in a positive manner

Strength: Success of others within the group can become a source of strength for those still struggling, providing possible scenarios with which other participants may be able to overcome similar problems

Blind spots: Group members can offer their own perspective on situations raised during session, highlighting points that may have been overlooked by the individual.
