• A support group is a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where individuals come together to share their experiences, challenges, and feelings related to mental health. Facilitated by a trained mental health professional, these groups provide mutual support, encouragement, and understanding. Members gain a sense of community, learn coping strategies, and develop skills to manage their mental health, all while benefiting from the shared experiences and insights of others facing similar challenges. The goal is to promote emotional well-being, reduce feelings of isolation, and foster a sense of connection and hope.

• Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where a small group of individuals meet regularly to discuss their thoughts, feelings, and experiences under the guidance of mental health therapists. It provides a supportive environment where members can share personal experiences, gain insights from others, develop coping skills, and build social connections. 

• Our groups are ideal for individuals seeking emotional support, personal growth, and a sense of community, particularly those navigating stress, anxiety, or significant life changes. All are welcome to join as we explore our emotions together.
• If you are currently experiencing psychosis symptoms or suicidal ideations and have a plan and the means, our groups do not offer the appropriate level of support you need. If you are looking for support, please call 988 or your local crisis service.

• Our support groups are open groups, meaning you can join at any time.
• Our group therapy at S.T.A.Y. is a closed group meaning we will have up to 10 members who join at the start and remain together for a designated period. Once the group begins, no new members are allowed to join, creating a stable and consistent environment where participants can build trust, foster deeper connections, and feel more comfortable sharing personal experiences.
