Self-Help Support Groups

Self-help and support groups for anxiety disorders are a way of empowering people to help themselves, and others, on the path to recovery. Participation in a self-help group can end the painful isolation of suffering alone with a disorder that is disruptive and debilitating for the individual and those people around him/her. An effective group will help members achieve recovery through mutual support as well as provide them with updated information about causes and treatment, eliminating some of the myths about anxiety disorders.

The ADAA Self-Help Support Group Network is available in nearly all states and various countries around the world. The list of support groups is provided as a service of the ADAA, but it does not represent an evaluation or recommendation by the association. Furthermore, the ADAA does not endorse the use of a self-help group as a substitute for proper diagnosis and treatment. Please check with your treatment provider about the benefits of joining a support group as part of one's overall treatment regimen.

The ADAA is constantly listing new groups and updating information about current groups.
