Mental Health Support Groups

On Our Own offers a variety of support groups available in person, by telephone, or via Zoom.

Peer Support is a system where two or more people with similar experiences help each other. This common experience allows for more authentic empathy and support. It is a system founded on key principles of respect, shared responsibility, and mutual agreement. In this relationship, neither person has more expertise as a supporter than the other.  It is one of equality. This equality arises from the shared experience of emotional and psychological pain. 

Peer groups available currently are Smart Recovery, Recovery through Music, Chronic Pain Support, Queer Support, Mindfulness, Assertiveness Group, Goals Group,  and more.

The Mission of On Our Own is to provide free peer support, self-help, education, guidance, advocacy, and referral services for adults with significant problems in their lives due to challenges with mental health, substance use, or trauma.
