Grow's Unique and Proven Mental Health Support Program
Every group meeting has a clear structure and follows a group method in a safe and confidential setting
One Person
- Every member of the group has the opportunity to present a problem each week.
- It can be a problem of coping or it can be a problem of growth.
- Every individual faces different challenges
- Peer Support is when people use their own lived experience to help each other.
Problem
- A problem of coping - where you are struggling to deal with the basic realities of your life right now.
- A problem of growth is one that if you can overcome it – you will move forward in aspects of your life, example starting a new career or further your education.
Practical Task
- Once you have identified the area of your life that you want to work on, the group will help you to set a practical task for yourself
- When you have agreed to a task, you have the rest of the week to work on it.
Part of The Program
- Share your week's progress and what part of the program helped you with your task and take a task for the next week.
-
SHARE A PERSONAL STORY
Everyone has a story and it is unique.
When you are ready - you can share your story in a safe & confidential space.

Our Grow Members Recovery Stories
See Authentic Stories from people who have benefited by taking the Grow Mental Health Journey
Depression by Lorraine
“My first dealings with depression began very slowly and gradually when I was in transition year of school. In “TY”, while everyone was growing in confidence and making new friends, I was becoming more introverted and had very low self-esteem.”
Anthony was dealing with Suicidal Thoughts
Through national school and the first two years of secondary, I was happy, but then things started to get bad. Nothing particular happened or changed apart from my own feelings. I started to lack confidence. I began to feel different, and I had low self-esteem.
Alan was dealing with Drugs and Alcohol
“I tried cocaine on a college trip when I was 18. I thought I would give it a try, sure look! What bad could happen? This single decision started a cycle that lasted up until I was 25.”
Christine was struggling with Self Harm
“This big hole in my chest opened up again and I couldn’t bear it anymore. By this time, I was regularly self-harming, but it wasn’t working anymore.”
Wayne suffered from Crippling Anxiety
““I can’t even remember a time when I didn’t have issues with anxiety or panic attacks. I suffered with my mental health most of my life. “
