Hello @Jasmiran
It is great you are reaching out for meet up groups, unfortunately the forums are to used anonymously so we are not able to discuss specific groups in specific locations. However you are able to search for one using the Grow website as they run support groups nationally:
GROW
1800 558 268 (national)
9-4 Mon-Fri
national@grow.org.au
www.grow.org.au/
Grow is a community-based organisation assisting Australians recover from mental illness through a unique program of mutual support and personal development via support services.
Support Groups - The Grow program is a holistic, group support model based on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Groups support members with their mental health and everyday development. Grow Groups meet weekly and vary in size from 3-10 members, and are run by seasoned ‘Growers’ who have taken a voluntary leadership role within the Group. Over the course of each meeting, the group engages in a series of group discussions, interactions, and readings that follow a structure and timetable to ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate, and meetings finish on time.
It is free to participate in Grow programs. There are no assessments, no need for a diagnosis and no strict eligibility criteria.

Hi Lunar,
I have been an organiser for Grow in the past and know about them in great detail. I found that the groups after some time became unhealthy. Some of the people I stayed in contact with and others I now try to avoid. I dont think staying with the same group for a long period of time is healthy, it is important to branch out.
Thank you for your response, I appreciate the direction you were going in with this.
