Definition(s)

  • Social support refers to the exchange of a variety of helping behaviors that arise from people's interactions and relationships with members of their social network who have not received any formal mental health training. Natural support usually arises spontaneously when close network members such as family members and friends provide comfort, companionship, practical assistance, advice, and feedback about an individual's performance or worth.
