Self-Help Support Groups

Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges.

George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

In- and Out-Groups

People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Area of Science:

  • Bereavement studies
  • Online support groups
  • Grief facilitation

Background:

  • Bereaved individuals report benefits from online support groups.
  • Facilitator perspectives on online grief support are under-researched.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore grief facilitators' attitudes toward online support groups.
  • To understand facilitators' likelihood of facilitating or referring to online grief services.

Main Methods:

  • A web-based survey was administered to a national sample of grief facilitators (N = 64).
  • Data collected focused on facilitators' attitudes and future intentions regarding online support groups.

Main Results:

  • Facilitators expressed more positive attitudes toward in-person groups compared to online formats.
  • A low likelihood of facilitating online groups in the next year was reported.
  • However, 62% of facilitators were willing to refer bereaved individuals to online groups.

Conclusions:

  • Grief facilitators may recognize the value of online support groups for increasing service accessibility.
  • Facilitator willingness to refer suggests an acknowledgment of unmet needs in grief care.
  • Further research should explore strategies to enhance facilitator engagement with online grief support.
