Coping groups bring together people who are going or who have gone through similar life experiences. In MassSupport‘s new free and confidential COVID-19 coping groups, we’ll be talking about how to handle feelings of isolation and stress in a supportive space to enhance coping skills and foster a sense of connection.

Groups will last about 90 minutes and participants do the vast majority of the talking. A brief educational component is included. While our trained, caring counselors and clinicians facilitate, these groups are not therapy.

Our coping groups are completely free, and you can sign up for multiple groups. Register below:
