Because everyday life contains many triggers, relapse is not uncommon among people trying to get over their disorder.  Relapse prevention is an umbrella term that refers to strategies that help reduce the likelihood and severity of relapse when someone is trying to remain sober. "

•  Mesothelioma Hub 'Find Your Hope'

 "Patients who are diagnosed with mesothelioma may develop various physical complications as a result of their symptoms and treatment. These physical changes could further lead to mental and emotional strain on the patient, their caregiver, family, or close friends. When someone discovers they have cancer, it can put a lot of stress on them. Besides that, finding out your loved one has an illness can be difficult for those who spend a lot of time with the patient. Some of the most common conditions that may arise include anxiety and depression. Learn how to recognize symptoms of a person struggling with their mental health, and what to do about it."

•  Birth Injury Justice Center

"A birth injury describes any type of harm that a baby suffers during, before, or shortly after delivery.

Many babies suffer from minor injuries during the delivery process. Most of these injuries do not need to be treated and often heal by themselves. However, some injuries have no cure — meaning your child may have a disability for the rest of their life. --  Support groups are a way for children with birth injuries to discuss their personal experiences and emotions in a judgement free environment. The emotional support of a group can also be tremendously uplifting for parents and caregivers of children suffering from birth injuries. Support groups are effective because they can bridge the gap between medical professionals and friends and family. "
