Group Therapy
Introduction and Objectives
- Living through a world crisis as we all are now with COVID-19 can exacerbate difficulties that we may have been experiencing for some time. Group therapy can aid in providing relief and effective ways to cope with these difficulties.
- The purpose of group therapy is to give group members a chance to connect and share their feelings, emotions and experiences. A few of the key factors to group therapy are confidentiality and commitment to attendance, along with maintaining anonymity for the effectiveness of group process.
- Furthermore, it allows group members to receive support and encouragement from other members of the group and to help them feel less alone or isolated.
- It provides an opportunity for group members to act as role models for other members. Some members may be more successful at managing certain types of problems and so people can share their experiences and learn from each other.
- It aims at providing a safe environment for group members to practice new behaviors without fear of judgement.

Support Groups
Introduction and Objectives
- Support groups can aid in providing relief and effective ways to cope with these difficulties by supporting one another through this difficult time.
- The purpose of a support group is to provide people with a support network, and a reminder that they are not alone. Meeting with likeminded people who have had similar experiences can help individuals to cope with their own struggles by seeing the ways other cope with theirs. Support groups help participants to identify healthy coping techniques and, with the support of others, helps them to move forward on their path or with their lives in general.
- In a support group, regular attendance is not mandatory nor expected, minimal commitment is required, and the group composition may be very different from week to week. Group size is usually rather small, but it fluctuates, and may be bigger for some sessions than others.
- Support group facilitators will keep the group organized and the conversation moving forward and will seek out themes to help steer the group in a cohesive direction together.
- The topics discussed in support groups will depend on the focus of the group and may be similar to the topics proposed earlier with group but would be less structured and more focused group connection and supporting each other.
