Support Groups in Ohio

[Just Julie]

Any one know of teen depression support groups in North Eastern Ohio? I've tried searching through Google, but I've only found groups for survivors.

Hi there.

I tried searching through google for some support groups in North-eastern Ohio and it didn't really come up with much. :/

There are other things that you can go about finding a support group in your area. First, ask your doctor, therapist or mental health provider for a support group suggestion. If their ideas don't pan out, other ways you can find a support group include:

* Contacting a local, state or national mental health organization
* Asking your church or other place of worship
* Looking in your phone book under mental health, counseling or similar topics
* Checking your newspaper for a listing of support resources
* Contacting community centers or libraries

I'm sure that at least one of them will be able to point you in the right direction and help you find a local support group in your area.

Also, I think it's a really good idea joining a support group. Support groups can help you feel less alone, find new coping skills and motivate you to stick to treatment plans. They also can be a source of hope for recovery and a more enjoyable future.

Hope that things start to look up for you with this. Let us know how things turn out.

Take care.
