Members of a support group are those who have common problem or issue. In our context, it is a mental health challenge arising from a family member. It can be a self-help group in true sense of the term when it is a group of the persons, for the persons and by the persons with an identified common problem. Through sharing information and experiences shubhankars lend moral support to each other. Being interactive yet non-judgmental, these groups help members to overcome feelings of blame and shame, isolation and the pain of stigma. Apart from moral support, members could also render material support to each other, especially in times of distress or emergencies. Even a word of solace or encouragement means a lot at such times. Mostly, a caring response is spontaneous for needy persons.
