Social groups or social support is certainly connected with happiness although I wouldn’t know whether happiness is the cause or of the effect of social connections.

I actually believe in this notion of social support very strongly. I started an App earlier this year that extraplolates this notion into social support helping people recover. Reachout focuses on providing an easy way for people suffering from chronic diseases to connect with each other for support, compassion, strength and friendship. Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Mental illness and addiction are among the most brutal diseases. The App focuses on these diseases and connects these patients to help them heal better. So yes, I firmly believe social support/groups brings happiness to people even when they are facing the lows of life. Please feel free to check out the app. It is free and available for ios and Android. Download links at http://www.Reachout.life
