 Another significant benefit of communal coping as a coping strategy is the facilitation of emotional social support which in turn facilitates psychological wellbeing.Individuals who can share their emotional distress with others are less likely to experience depression and burnout (Williamson & Shultz, 1990)or commit suicide (LaSalle, 1995).Under certain circumstances, the constant encouragement of communal coping among connected individuals promotes a likelihood of consistent availability of social support.
