Hey, just wondering if anyone knew any face to face group support sessions in the sydney area?

Thanks

Hi @blueskies5,

I do not have the information you seek but just wanted to say hi and welcome to the forum.

I know it will seem like a silly suggestion, but I often find answers about services I need via Google searches. Maybe by typing the particular kind of group you want, and the name of your local area. You probably have already done this, but it's the best I can think of to suggest.

Hopefully someone in the Sydney area will reply with some ideas.

What is the particular kind of group you are looking for? Eg. depression and/or anxiety groups, or for bipolar, addiction, etc.

I am not in the Sydney area either @blueskies5 , but wanted to say welcome to the forums too 👋

Myabe try MHFA - Mental Health Foundation Australia ?

Hi @blueskies5 maybe contact one door mental health. Not sure what part of Sydney you are in but there are heaps of locations listed.

That i have, thought I would also reach out on forums for word of mouth to the best support groups. Anxiety/depression and addiction is what i'm looking for

Hey @blueskies5 

Welcome to the forum

Perhaps phone South Pacific Private and speak to the after care team- they specialize in what you're looking for or if they can't help they could point you in the right direction.
