Hello, I'm interested in starting a support group in my community. How do I start?

Any suggestions will help.

I think that's an awesome idea, I think you start with a couple people and spread from there

[IndigoThoughts in reply to Alexis74]

Is there any credentials I need to have?

What sort of support group

[IndigoThoughts in reply to Hidden]

Support for people seeking treatment or wanting to get help but just need support for anxiety, depression or just dealing with life period.

Sounds good. I'd be interested

I've messaged meet up, the one I seem to like most has age limits..so we keep on trying

Offer help and they will come!

Contact a local Behavior Health division of medical professionals.

Search on internet for local providers who specialize in anxiety.

Find a donated meeting space. Spread the word locally by way of your searching for answers.

Be aware that most places don't have liability insurance to cover meetings outside of their own medical practice.

Ask ADAA for suggestions.

Great thanks for the insight!

Support is what all of us needs. This is my first venture into the world of internet support groups. I continue to look for positive insights and not just a world of complaints. Turn off the TV and Internet news.
