A support group to help others that suffer from anxiety and depression. Hosted by Mother and Son that both suffered from anxiety, looking to give back to the community. Just a simple round-table discussion, no pressure to talk, just come and listen if you like or tell your story to others who understand. Will have printouts on topics also.
The primary purpose of the group is to reduce social anxiety. The means to this end is by meeting frequently in a small group facilitated by a trained professional. The facilitator will introduce members to one another and encourage conversation with questions and comments. No pressure will be exerted, but rather periodic invitations to participate. As the group develops, members will be encouraged to take over the facilitators tasks but only if they feel comfortable doing so. If a large number …

At some point and time that act comes to a CLOSE and we Crash and Burn! We then feel trapped, alone, misunderstood and confined within our own minds and hearts. I know because I have been and STILL CONTINUE to endure some …
