The Power of Support Groups with Krystle Kemp

"We all exist in so many different communities and that's empowering. Because if I'm not getting what I need in the communities I have, I might need to look elsewhere"

Support groups are a great source of help for many people struggling with mental illnesses or anyone looking for a place to connect with people with similar life experiences. During SADAG's annual support group awareness week, we highlight some of the important information around support groups and unpack what types of groups are available to join, who can join the groups and how you can start a support group in your community with the help of SADAG. We also speak about the importance of privacy and a sworn secrecy around discussions among group members and the difference between group therapy and SADAG support groups.

To help me unpack this topic I'm joined by Krystle Kemp who is SADAG Support Group coordinator who's involved with the training of support group leaders and supporting them on their journey to starting and maintaining their groups.
