Other online options

Online forums (non video chat) also provide an opportunity for users to seek support and share their experiences in a safe, anonymous and moderated online environment. Popular examples include those provided by SANE (hosted on the WayAhead website) and by Beyond Blue (external link).

Alternatively you may wish to search for support groups run by other organisations using the WayAhead Directory.

If you would like to start a support group in an area that we do not currently serve, please see our page about becoming a facilitator.
