Group sessions and peer support can play an important role in your mental health. In group sessions or classes there is often a trained teacher or moderator and a group of people sharing their experiences, often around a particular topic that’s relevant to your mental health concern and healing. Peer support can also be online communities focused on particular mental health issues. Here are a few places to start:
NAMI Classes
Peer-led mental health programs providing free education, skills training, and support
INSPIRE
Condition-specific support groups offering information, community, and connection
THE MIGHTY
Groups focused on shared interests, including health conditions, hobbies, identities, and general mental health support
MINDSHIFT RECOVERY
Free weekly online addiction recovery community meetings and tools for the journey.
