Support groups Melbourne?

[Matt1]

Hello I'm Matt 25 year old male,

recently I've been having a bit of trouble coping with depression and just wondering if anyone knows of any support groups located in Melbourne preferably in the western suburbs. I have found a couple but they all seem to be at night which just doesn't work for me.

Thanks for your time.

Hey Matt,

Welcome to Beyond Blue forums. I think you've found a support group right here! So many people share the same pain your feeling and find that writing to us about it really helps. I understand that talking to people who are going through the same experience is helpful as well.

If you're comfortable, would you write a bit about how your feeling and what you're wanting from a support group? If we can't provide help here, I'm certain there will be someone who knows of a group.

Paul

Hi Matt1, welcome to the forums. We can't provide recommendations for support groups or health professionals here on the forums, but you are welcome to call our support service for advice on this - 1300 22 4636 is the number. What we can do is provide some peer support around your situation, as Paul has said. Please feel free to start a new thread in the Depression section for this.
