Our Support Groups

With 30 support groups, both family members and people living with mental illness are sure to find a group that fits.

  • You’ll get support, you’ll share coping strategies, and you’ll learn practical information. All groups are led by a trained volunteer with lived experience, and are a safe and judgment-free environment of mutual respect.
  • All of our Support Groups are meeting online until further notice.

“Our support groups are powerful because they show, you are not alone. And they’re not led by a mental health professional. Peer support values lived experience. Leaders are facilitators, not professional experts. Everyone is an expert in the room…an expert on themselves.” – Kinsey McManus, former Services Director

We do not permit observers to our groups.
