About Us
Grow has a unique program to help people recover from mental health issues and to achieve personal goals. Our groups are for people who experience depression, anxiety or other mental/emotional or those who are dealing with a life crisis, such as the loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, or people with a mental illness
Grow Groups meet weekly for two hours and vary in size from three to twelve members and are run by seasoned members who have taken a voluntary leadership role within the group.
Over the course of each meeting, the group engages in a series of group discussions, interactions, and readings that follow a structure and timetable to ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate, and meetings finish on time.
What makes Grow so special is the practical advice and the wisdoms that are discussed every week from a range of literature, written by members. This literature has proven to be of enormous benefit and can assist with keeping members on track with their road to recovery.
Grow Groups are for people aged 18 years and above, are confidential and free of charge. New members are welcome to bring along a support person for up to three meetings.
Members help to break the stigma often attached to mental illness by talking to others about their struggles in a supportive environment. As well as weekly support meetings Grow also provides opportunities for social events.
