Find Support Groups

Many people find peer support a helpful tool that can aid in their recovery. There are a variety of organizations that offer support groups for consumers, their family members and friends. Some support groups are peer-led, while others may be led by a mental health professional.

Who should use support groups?

Support groups are offered as a space where individuals can come together to share their stories, experiences, and lives in a way that helps reduce isolation and loneliness. Oftentimes, we think we are struggling alone, but support groups help us see that there are others who may dealing with similar situations and who in turn can help us get better.

Support groups are open to anyone, but they are often focused on specific topics (i.e. depression, family, divorce, grief, etc.). So, take some time and do some research to find the right one for you and your current situation.

Finding the right support group can be helpful. Do not be discouraged if the first support group you find doesn't quite feel right. You should feel comfortable in the support group space that you choose, so trying different ones may help you determine the best fit.

We also encourage you to also take a look at Mental Health America's LiveYourLifeWell program to learn more about the value of connecting with others and other helpful wellness tools.

Can I access support groups online?

Some organizations now offer online support groups, discussion boards, blogs, and online communities as additional ways to connect with others in similar situations. These can be helpful additions to in-person support groups and can be especially helpful if there are no groups in your area.

Mental Health America has its own support community through Inspire which enables individuals to connect on a variety of issues and topics related to mental health.

Where can I find a support group to attend locally?

Your local Mental Health America affiliate is an excellent resource to assist you in finding support groups in your area.

The National Mental Health Consumers' Self-Help Group Clearinghouse also maintains a Directory of Consumer-Driven Services which includes peer-run organizations throughout the United States that offer a variety of supportive services and activities, including peer-run support groups.

You have a few options.

By Anna Borges and Casey Gueren

October 5, 2021

Before we get into our list of the many online support groups that may help people struggling right now, allow me to say something kind of obvious: Just about everything we’ve been through since March 2020 has highlighted how crucial social support can be for our mental health. Having a strong support system has been the go-to tip from experts when asked how to deal with the various challenges of the ongoing pandemic and the current political, social, and economic climate.

At the same time, all this emphasis on the importance of social connection might also be highlighting the lack of support in your life. Maybe the stressors and safety precautions of the pandemic have made certain people unavailable or difficult to communicate with regularly. Maybe you realized that the people in your circle are great for grabbing brunch or seeing a movie, but aren’t actually who you’d go to when things get tough. Or maybe you’re going through something specific (like loss, financial hardship, illness, or any number of difficult personal experiences) and your go-to people just don’t get it the way you need them to.

Whatever the reason you find yourself needing more support, seeking out people to lean on is a worthy endeavor. Sometimes that means looking beyond our friends and family. Support groups—specifically, online support groups to help accommodate the social distancing precautions of the pandemic—might be just what you need right now. Here’s everything you need to know about virtual support groups and how to find one.

What are support groups and why might you want to join one?

Support groups are gatherings of people (virtually or IRL) who share common ground in some way and can offer each other emotional support, according to the Mayo Clinic. Typically, participants have either gone through or are currently going through a similar experience, such as the loss of a loved one or living with an illness, a chronic health condition, or addiction. Or they might share a marginalized identity, such as a sexuality, gender, or race, that influences the challenges they face when moving through the world. Those are only a few examples, though—there are a ton of support groups out there, and more are cropping up in response to the myriad challenges that have arisen in the last two years.

The important thing to understand about support groups is that they can vary greatly in practice. Unlike group therapy, which is guided by a licensed mental health professional and offers targeted support, support groups come in many shapes and sizes. Some might be more structured, like those offered by a nonprofit organization or mental health clinic. Others might be independent and run by people like you or me who just want to gather with others over a virtual cup of coffee once a week to talk about our struggles. Some support groups take the form of online communities and don’t have meetings at all.

1. Support Groups Central

You’ll find a wide variety of support groups through Support Groups Central. It curates support groups from other organizations, such as the National Alliance On Mental Illness (NAMI) and re:MIND. You can search for groups by topics such as depression, addiction, LGBTQ+, and even COVID-19. Most groups are free or have a small suggested donation, and you can sign up for email alerts about future meetings by topic too.

2. The Dinner Party

The Dinner Party helps groups of 20- and 30-somethings who have experienced the loss of a parent, partner, child, sibling, another close family member, or close friend gather in small groups called tables. Pre-pandemic, tables were hand-matched to meet in person at a host’s house for support-group-esque dinner parties, but COVID-era tables are all virtual. Sign up for one here.

3. Psychology Today

We love Psychology Today as a therapist-finding tool, and many therapists are currently hosting virtual support groups (and more-targeted therapy groups and workshops if you’re interested in those). To find one, use their Find a Therapist search, toggle to the “support group” option, then search by keyword. It might require some experimenting—you can search “online” or “virtual,” or by your location, then manually seek out the online options therein. Much as with finding a therapist, cost will vary. Some are priced per session, some might be covered by your insurance, and some are free or available on a sliding scale.

4. Facebook

All right, Facebook groups can kind of be the Wild West, but there are a lot of potentially helpful options out there. Some therapists and mental health professionals have created support spaces there in recent months in response to mental health challenges related to COVID-19, the most recent instances of police brutality against Black people, and the current economic and political climate. Other organizations and groups already have established closed Facebook communities to foster mental-health-related conversations. There are also independently run Facebook support groups for everything under the sun, and many people find them to be wonderful spaces of support.

Unfortunately, finding a solid Facebook group can rely on a lot of searching, trial and error, or word of mouth. Some helpful examples include this private support group for people struggling with anxiety, created by the founder of the blog Anxious Lass. Therapy for Black Girls created a private discussion group, Thrive Tribe, and while it’s not an official support group, many members use the space for therapeutic peer-to-peer discussions. Mobile therapy app ChatOwl curated this list of some of the most popular Facebook support groups for depression and anxiety.

5. ADAA Online Support Group

The Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) has its own anonymous, peer-to-peer support group with over 60,000 subscribers. People use the platform to share their stories, ask for advice, and seek out people with similar experiences. Though it’s primarily focused on anxiety and depression, many people also discuss OCD, ADHD, PTSD, and other co-occurring disorders. You can participate on your desktop or download the iOS app for iPhones here.

6. Zencare

A resource that helps connect users with therapists, Zencare also has a list of virtual groups for support and connection amid the pandemic. Some are external support groups and some are moderated by vetted Zencare therapists, such as Coping Skills for Everyday Life or Managing Return to Work Anxiety. Support groups are priced based on weekly or monthly rates, but insurance and sliding scales are available for some.

7. Body Politic COVID-19 Support Group

Body Politic, a queer feminist wellness collective, started a COVID-19 Support Group after their founder and their creative director both became sick with the coronavirus in early March. Since then the group has grown to 11,000 members, mainly COVID-19 survivors, those currently sick with the coronavirus, or caretakers and immediate family of COVID-19 patients who are too sick to participate in the group themselves. The group is hosted on Slack and you can sign up here.

8. Alcoholics Anonymous

When I did a callout on Twitter asking if anyone had found support groups helpful during the pandemic, I was inundated with DMs about how life-changing virtual AA meetings have been for them these past few months—regardless of whether or not they previously identified with having an addiction. Writer Britni de la Cretaz even wrote for SELF about how her queer online AA meeting was a lifeline during the pandemic. Find a virtual meeting here.

9. Wisdo

Wisdo’s tagline is “learn from people who have been there,” which is honestly such a valuable part of participating in a support group. Within the app, you can join specific themed communities to discuss anything from coronavirus anxiety and loneliness to racism and LGBTQ+ issues. Hell, there are even communities for relationship advice and building self-esteem. The app itself is interactive beyond simply chatting with others—you can set goals (such as “finding ways to relieve stress”) and flag yourself as a potential “helper” or “mentor” to other users who are going through experiences you’ve dealt with in the past. Download it for iOS and Android.

10. Meetup

You may be familiar with Meetup as a way to connect socially with others with similar interests and hobbies, but many users have also long used it to organize support groups. Virtual support groups are no exception. Similar to using large platforms like Facebook or Psychology Today, you might have to invest some time in searching for the right group for you, but they’re out there. Try searching by keyword or browse their categories. Categories like Health & Wellness or Parents & Family often have virtual support group listings.
