GROW provides mutual self help support Groups for any adult who is having mental or emotional problems.

Groups are ordinarily run by their own members, according to a well structured and successful format.

GROW Meetings are supportive and non-threatening, positive and constructive.

Meeting Groups typically have 5 to 9 people and meet weekly, day or night and last for two hours.

People attending group are encouraged to stay for refreshments following the Meeting.

During the meeting, members can share their problems, learn how to rebuild their lives and report on our progress.

We know one another in the group on a first name basis only and make a commitment to confidentiality.

We find it takes courage to go to our first meeting - but we find we are not alone. Others have felt fearful the first time. There is no pressure on you to say anything - you control the pace of your involvement.

No fees are charged, however a small donation to meet necessary expenses is usual, though strictly voluntary.

A variety of training, community building activities (including residential weekends) and social activities backs up the essential group process.
