Online Anxiety Support Group
An ongoing group of balanced support and education
About Group
The purpose of the group is for clients with generalized anxiety or other anxiety disorders to come together, process and support one another in their journeys. While this group will not follow a rigid curriculum, it will be organized around rotating sets of topics, accompanied by light group activities and education about various coping skills. But the main goal is for participants to learn from one another, to not be alone, and to see how others make it through each day.
