Questions about coping skills groups in Illinois

Yes. 8 of the 9 coping skills groups listed in Illinois are free to join. Each listing states its own cost, so you know before you reach out.
Can I join an online coping skills group from Illinois?
There are 56 online coping skills groups on The Group Guide. Peer-led and community groups usually accept members from anywhere. Therapist-led groups may only accept people in the states where the leader is licensed, and each listing says who can join.
What is the difference between a coping skills support group and a coping skills therapy group?
A support group is usually led by a peer or volunteer and centers on shared experience.

Listings show whether a licensed professional leads the group.
Do I need a referral to join?
Most groups on The Group Guide accept self-referrals: you contact the group directly. Some insurance-covered groups ask for a referral, and the listing will say so.
How do I know a listing is current?
Group leaders write their own listings, and listings show when their details were last checked. That check confirms the group's details match its own website. It is not a clinical review or an endorsement.
