GROW Mental wellbeing programs

GROW is a community mental health organization with a 12-step program of personal growth and recovery incorporating the principles of mutual help and peer support. It started in Sydney in 1957. The founders were drawn together by their lived experience of mental illness. The wisdom they gained in helping each other to overcome life's challenges and recover from mental illness has always been carefully recorded from the basis of the GROW program. The groups were in fact first known as Recovery groups. This name was subsequently changed to GROW in order to meet the increasing demand for the group's services in prevention, rehabilitation, and as a school of life and leadership and mental health. Today there are groups located in states and territories throughout Australia. GROW is a free service with no wait lists and no referral necessary.

JOIN a FREE GROW group

Our meetings take place in a safe, caring and confidential way, whether the meetings are face-to-face, or online, known as eGrow groups. Our members meet weekly and follow the Group Method. The meetings run for about two hours and the groups vary in size from 3-10 members. We are a peer-to-peer led support group, where newer members are supported and mentored by experienced members who have worked through the Grow Program and have taken on a leadership role within the group. What makes GROW so special is the practical advice and the lived experiences that are shared every week by our members, also known as Growers. This peer-to peer style of support has been proven to be a positive way of helping you remain on the road to recovery. Meetings are free with voluntary contributions welcome. Our eGrow Program is offered online and runs the same way as our face-to-face meetings, the only difference is eGrow takes place via video conferencing.
