Face-to-face mutual-aid meetings such as Alcoholics Anonymous shuttered with the onset of COVID-19. Research could not be conducted quickly enough to provide guidance for how to respond. However, two powerful tools could be leveraged: the research on mutual aid conducted before the pandemic and the vast number of virtual resources that proliferated with the onset of the pandemic. This article reviews the existing mutual aid research and its relevance to COVID-19, describes the diverse array of virtual resources, and provides recommendations for successful engagement with virtual mutual aid during COVID-19 and beyond.
诸如匿名戒酒互助会之类的面对面互助会议随着新冠疫情的爆发而关闭。研究无法迅速开展以提供应对指导。然而，可以利用两个有力工具：疫情大流行之前开展的互助研究以及随着疫情爆发而大量涌现的虚拟资源。本文回顾了现有的互助研究及其与新冠疫情的相关性，描述了各种各样的虚拟资源，并为在新冠疫情期间及之后成功参与虚拟互助提供建议。
