Peer Support Groups for Mood Disorders

Mental Health - Adult, Mental Health - Child & Youth, and Youth Services

Provided by Mood Disorders Association of BC (MDABC)

Support groups are available for adults, women, families, youth, and individuals affected by mental health challenges. Specialized groups include Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Wellbeing, and Self-Care/Self-Compassion.
MDABC peer-led support groups provide a safe and welcoming space where individuals can share their stories, challenges, and accomplishments while listening to others with similar concerns. These groups foster a sense of belonging, offer informal education about mental health, and provide support from peers with lived experience. Each group is facilitated by trained volunteers who have personal experience with mental health challenges.

Please note: Support groups are not intended to provide counselling or therapy.

All Peer Support Groups are free of charge and do not require registration. Participants are welcome to drop in at any time. Please note that PTSD support groups are the only exception and require an intake prior to joining. Interested participants should contact the facilitator to discuss suitability.
