Who We Are
We are a community of people drawn together by our first-hand experiences of mental health challenges. Having found practical ways of helping each other recover from mental health challenges or life struggles we developed what we refer to as The Grow Program.
We meet weekly in locations all over Ireland and Online. All our group supports are free for over 18’s, no referral needed, no waiting lists and our meetings are confidential and carried out in a supportive setting.
We use our proven 12 Steps of Growth and Recovery and the Grow Program to help people help themselves to take back control over their own lives.
What We Do
Grow Mental Health is a registered Charity with over 55 years’ experience supporting people in personal growth and recovery. It’s peer-support service, operating in Ireland since 1969, is a testament to the vital role that other people play in the recovery of the individual. Grow Mental Health first originated in Australia and is based on the 12 steps AA recovery model which we implemented in Ireland too. We are funded by the HSE, Pobal and various fundraising activities.
- We provide a space where people can tell their story in a confidential and friendly setting that encourage positive action through shared wisdom and practical guidance.
- We also deliver Mental Health Education Programs both within the community and the workplace.
The aim of these programs is to increase awareness of Mental Health, to outline the relevance of Mental Health in our daily lives and to focus on the importance of maintaining one’s own Mental Health and general sense of wellbeing.
