Support Groups

Last Updated (Friday, 27 November 2009 11:42)

MHA runs a number of support groups for people with anxiety disorders. Support groups usually comprise a small number of people who come together to share personal experiences and information in a supportive environment. Meetings usually go for about 1.5-2 hours and are led by a trained volunteer group leader.

Participants often form a bond based on the commonality of their day-to-day experiences. They learn from each other, experience relief, have fun, and become inspired by each others' journeys. Often there are people present who have recovered from their illness/disorder, who choose to attend to provide support to others who are experiencing difficulties.

Group leaders have either a human services background or personal experience of a disorder/illness. Guest speakers may attend a support group upon request of the local group.

Our Support groups are free-of-charge and spread throughout the Sydney Metro and some coastal areas. There is no need to book attendance - simply turn up on the day.
