Support Groups

Our support groups are designed to support recovery with deep dives into specific topics. Learn, connect with others, and develop skills and tools.

These virtual groups are kept small to increase comfort and participation. Groups are led by a variety of facilitators, including Dietitians, Therapists, and others.

All groups are open to those living in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland. Some groups are available in other parts of Canada so check individual listings for details. Subsidies are available so that cost is not a barrier for anyone.
