Living with Anxiety Online Anxiety Support Group
Wayahead’s Living with Anxiety Online Peer Support group is run by Kylie on Tuesday each week at 1pm.
Living with Anxiety is a free, weekly space for people living with anxiety to connect with others who understand. Anxiety can be isolating, especially for those living regionally, caring for others, retired, in recovery, managing chronic health conditions, taking time away from work or study, or finding it hard to leave the house. This group offers a safe and calm, peer-led space where you can feel a little less alone in anxiety. There’s no pressure to speak. You’re welcome to listen, share, or simply be present.
Our online groups are usually comprised of a small number of people who come together over Zoom to share personal experiences and information in a safe, friendly and supportive environment.
All Wayahead support groups are free of charge there is no need to book attendance.
When? Tuesday each week at 1pm
We ask that none of the participants record the support group session and no one other than the participant views or listens in on the support group. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that what is discussed at the meeting will remain confidential as we have to rely on the members of the group to maintain confidentiality.
What happens at a support group?
IMPORTANT – This is not a treatment group. It is a place where people who are impacted by anxiety can give and receive support related to living with and managing their anxiety. It is facilitated by trained volunteers who have a diverse range of experiences but who are not qualified health professionals. As such, this group is not suitable for people with high levels of mental distress which may be associated with psychosis, severe depression or active post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We recommend that you do not attend this group if you are experiencing high levels of distress as it is unlikely that it will able to meet your needs.
