IOP Support Groups

Promising Outlook often utilizes fully online IOP Support Groups as part of a personalized multi-pronged approach to treatment as part of an intensive outpatient program when once-a-week therapy isn’t enough.

These support groups can form strong bonds to help aid in recovery, with similar groups of people who understand what you are going through and are always guided by a licensed clinician.

Getting the most out of a support group.

A support group is a safe place where you can talk about your emotions and circumstances with others who know how you feel and won’t judge or criticize you. It can also help you to: Learn better coping strategies. As you go through challenging circumstances, you may need to learn new ways to cope.

Promising Outlook recommends a personalized approach, built around intensive outpatient therapy as a possible solution.

Approach Therapy as a Partnership

Therapy is most effective when you're an active participant and share in decision-making. Make sure you and your therapist agree about the major issues and how to tackle them. Together, you can set goals and assess progress over time. And then share that in your group sessions as you feel comfortable.

Be Open and Honest

Success with therapy depends on your willingness to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences, and on being open to new insights and ways of doing things. If you're reluctant to talk about certain things because of painful emotions, embarrassment or fears about your therapist's reaction, let your therapist know about your reservations.

Don't Expect Instant Results

Working on emotional issues can be painful and often requires hard work. It's not uncommon to feel worse during the initial part of therapy as you begin to confront past and current conflicts. You may need several sessions before you begin to see improvement.

Finding A Support Group

Promising Outlook Matches You

Per the Mayo Clinic, “before joining a support group, consider what type of group might suit you best. For some people, a small, intimate group may offer a feeling of security, while others may prefer a larger group where they’re allowed anonymity. Health care specialists advise trying various settings to find a group where you’ll feel most comfortable.

Also consider whether you’d prefer to have a medical professional or a layperson leading the group. A medical professional, such as a nurse or psychologist, can lend an educational element to the group, while a disease survivor brings real-life perspective to the discussions.

Time is another consideration for people joining a support group. Some groups offer open memberships so members can join freely and there’s no expectation of regular participation; this may serve well those having a disease who may not be able to attend regularly. Other groups are closed, where people preregister and members are encouraged at the onset to commit to a minimum number of sessions.

Privacy is a major concern for people joining a support group. Members should discuss at the outset whether the information they share is private.”

Promising Outlook pairs you with a support group based on your unique story and experiences. Because care should be personalized to you.
