Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Encouraging the child and parents to look at an online support group can provide them with a sense of community, support, and resources from others who are going through similar experiences. This approach is more positive and less likely to cause psychological harm than the other options, which could lead to feelings of shame or inadequacy.
