A support network refers to a group or system of individuals who provide emotional, practical and informational help to one another. This can include family members, friends, co-workers, neighbors, or even online communities that offer encouragement, advice, and resources in times of need. The goal is to create a sense of connection and belonging where people feel safe sharing their struggles and seeking guidance from those around them. Having a strong support network can help individuals navigate challenges, cope with stress, and foster personal growth by providing emotional support, practical assistance, and social connections.
