Definition
Programs that link individuals who have a particular type of illness with others having the same illness for the purpose of information sharing and support. Included are networking programs that make a portal or other technology available that encourages people living with mental health conditions, disabilities, physical illnesses or other problems to tell their stories about the challenges they are facing and the steps they have taken to cope with their situation. Sharing one's story can help in the person's own recovery but can also be an inspiration and source of encouragement for others in a similar situation.
