Executive summary
This paper gives a brief overview of the important role played by the social support outreach
programs in the current society. The main aim of this overview is to prove that these programs

1.0 Introduction
We all understand the importance of having a strong social connection especially when it
comes to maintaining emotional health, physical health and the general wellbeing of our bodies.

social connections and promote the confidence of victims to self-manage their health issues. The
social support which is given by the social support outreach programs not only gives people
emotional and physical comfort but also gives them confidence that they belong to a community
of people who love, care and value them as well.

healthy social support networks amongst ourselves has been hard because of the daily struggles

the control of social support outreach programs entirely. They have also been proved to be
committed in their duties as depicted by the decline in the number of victims of suicide which
initially had been rampant as a result of depression.

conflicts are running from time to time in order to seek refuge in different countries. Before
fleeing from their countries, these people usually undergo some devastating moments which can

Youthful people, therefore, require need to be encouraged and mentored in the right way. Old
