social support and peer counseling
Social support refers to the assistance, comfort, and encouragement individuals receive from their social networks, such as friends, family, and communities. It involves emotional, practical, and informational help provided to enhance well-being and cope with stress or challenges. Peer counseling, on the other hand, involves a process where individuals with similar experiences or backgrounds provide support and guidance to one another. It is a collaborative approach where peers offer understanding, empathy, advice, and resources to help each other through difficult situations or personal growth.
