ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP—MENTAL ILLNESS
Frum Support
Frum Support is a web-based system of support groups for people who are suffering from a medical or mental illness and are afraid to speak to other people, because of the stigma attached to it. It allows them to reach out to others in the same boat anonymously without the fear of being discovered.
Members can post either in the public forums or they can 'private message' each other in a private manner.
The mental health section is extremely busy because the people suffering from mental illness feel very alone. They feel that very few people understand them, and mental illness is still very stigmatized in our communities. For many people, the ability to connect to others who understand is literally a lifesaver!
