You are here:
There are two types of support groups on this page; community-based support groups which are peer-led and have mixed membership, and carer support groups which are connected to the Family and Carer Mental Health Program (scroll down the page).
Support groups are adapting what they are doing to ensure their meetings are covid-safe. Some are meeting in-person using covid-safe practices, some are meeting online, others are meeting outside while others are still waiting until they can return to normal. Contact the group leader on the list below to confirm.
We have two online and phone-in meetings each month using Zoom: the 2nd Tuesday and the 4th Wednesday of the month at 7pm are monthly catch-ups for mutual support. People who have experienced mental health problems and carers are welcome. Please contact us to go on the email list for these meetings or join our Strong and Social Meetup page.
You can join our Support Groups Facebook group to keep up-to-date about what is happening. It is a private group, so it is safe and respectful, and is supported by One Door staff. Click here: One Door Mental Health Support Groups
