Find a Mental Health Support Group
in Guilford County, North CarolinaSupport Groups provide confidential and comfortable places for people to learn about their problems and how to deal with them. They connect people to organizations that can help, and people who have had similar experiences. Many people find support groups can be very helpful in their work to get and stay well. Support groups can be divided into two categories: self-help and therapeutic support. Self-help groups are peer-led, and therapeutic support groups are conducted by a licensed clinician and often require a therapist referral. Peer-led support groups seldom charge a fee or require registration, and follow similar models of 7 and 12 step groups. Clinician led support groups require registration and often charge a fee. It is best to call the contact person or phone number listed in the database before attending a specific group, in order to confirm times, dates and attendance requirements. While we intend that information in this database is accurate, this information may also be subject to change without notice.
Our support group database can be searched with keywords such as typing “bipolar disorder” in the search box. When conducting a search with multiple keywords, use lower-case only and use commas, “and”, “or”, etc. between phrases or keywords. For example, to search for “bipolar disorder” and “depression, list the keywords as “bipolar disorder and depression.”
For the over 100 support groups listed in our database, the MHAG cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies of information. We request that if you find this information wrong, or if you want to let us know how a certain support group is working for you, or to add or update a support group, please contact info@mhag.org.The MHAG recruits and trains support group facilitators to lead free peer-led support groups.
