Does anyone know a good support group
Hi There
Does anyone know of a good support group for Mental Health? Preferably LGBTQI, but not essential. I’m a 53 year old male and it’s so hard to find a group for my age group.

Have you tried 'GROW' in your area? https://www.grow.org.au/
Common interest groups are an excellent way to be part of a group. Must be hard though with stigma magnets 😞 you poor man. Keep trying. ❤

Hi @Marsy 
I am sorry to hear about your struggle to find support groups catered to your age. It is wonderful that despite such struggles, you are still reaching out to find the support you need! As at @Former-Member said, GROW may be a good place to reach out to, given they are a national organisation that runs support groups for people with mental illness all around Australia. Perhaps, you could give them a call and enquire about the dynamics of their groups in your local area? I have listed their contact details, directly below.

You may also be interested in calling Q Life (I'm not sure if you have reached out to them before?). I know that finding a LGBTQI group is not essential, but perhaps they may be able to refer you to a support group that better suits a variety of your demographics? I have provided a bit of information about what they do, and how to contact them, below.
QLife is a national counselling and referral service for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) people.

I hope this information in helpful to you, @Marsy! Please reach out if you need any further support or information.
Kindest,
