The role of social support in reducing psychological distress [electronic resource] / Canadian Institute for Health Information.
"Social support has been shown to be a consistent protective factor for populations with high distress. However, evidence on the role of the structure and functions of social support in reducing distress is lacking. This analysis, based on National Population Health Survey data spanning a decade, examines structures and functions of social support as drivers of reductions in psychological distress ... Examples of interventions that can influence distress and other mental health issues through social support-related activities are provided. Some successful approaches focus on individuals' skills at relating, while others provide opportunities for interaction. In some cases, interventions can be integrated with existing health services"--P. 1.
