Abstract

Social support networks play a crucial role in mental health recovery and resilience. This article explores the various dimensions of social support and its impact on individuals coping with mental health challenges. By examining the types of support, mechanisms of support provision, and the reciprocal nature of social relationships, we elucidate how social support networks contribute to enhancing mental well-being. Drawing upon empirical research and theoretical frameworks, we present insights into the dynamics of social support and its significance in promoting resilience and recovery among individuals facing mental health difficulties.
