Some of the benefits of the group process are: 1. Generation of feelings of hope and optimism; 2. A sense of safety, comfort and support; 3. Identification of common goals and issues; 4. Exchange of useful constructive information; 5. Interpersonal learning and imitative behavior; 6. Recapturing the nurturing role of the primary family group; 7. Opportunity for verbalization and catharsis; 8. Encouragement and empowerment of participants; 9. Reduction of the sense of isolation and uniqueness; 10.
