Why Our Mental Health Takes a Village
- marojejian 9y agoI'm a big fan of this concept: an essential element to resilience is to have a strong support structure, ideally friends, or people who are going through a similar thing. In that vein - shameless plug: I've been working on a service (www.campfire.care) to build peer support groups for any focus. Groups of 5-10 people with the same issue meet regularly via video and stay connected via chat. The idea is that we are fundamentally social creatures, and struggling with a challenge alone is unhealthy. Peer support can be really effective + inexpensive, an is a largely untapped resource Would love any thoughts / feedback!
