I was watching a movie yesterday; saw a girl attending a “Support group”, wondering why those groups are so important in some countries? I’m sure that you saw samples in many movies too. In a support group, members provide each other with various types of help, usually nonprofessional and non material, for a particular shared, usually burdensome, characteristic.
It sounds interesting, people with the same problem (Addiction, Sleep disorders, Alzheimer's, parents or children issues and….) gather around sharing their experiences and emotions. They never meet before but because of the same problem they can easily understand each other and talk about their very own case without embarrassing. I really like to know what do think. Do you like such a thing? Would you attend them if we had the opportunity in Iran? Or you simply found it none sense?
P.S. I guess this is the matter of culture, so if you have such a subject on mind discussing them here will be nice
