It is human nature to seek out others similar to us. In the past half century, it became known as a
support group. The support group can range from a common interest such as stay at home parents to
those having the same medical condition or disorder. Often, they meet on the same day of the week or
each month at the same time. New ideas or the latest research is often shared and sometimes discussed
in the meetings. Often, it is individuals with a common situation, or it can be family members of
individuals facing the same situation.
