CHD offers both in-person and virtual Support Groups to provide teens and adults with an opportunity to gain the support, resources, and connection needed to improve mental well-being, develop coping strategies, and help combat the feelings of isolation and loneliness. These groups offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to share their experiences and learn from others.
