Support that’s genuinely for everyone

No cost, no referral, no judgement — open to anyone aged 18 and over.
Peer-led
Run by people with lived experience who truly understand what you’re going through.
Confidential
A safe, private space where what’s shared in the group stays in the group.
In person or online
Meet kanohi ki te kanohi or join by Zoom — whatever suits your life.
Real people, real support
In my depression and anxiety I tended to avoid people and isolate — which only made it worse. Grow helped me get outside myself, grow in confidence, and care about others again.
I felt I had no choice but to live in a fog of medication. With Grow’s support — and a new doctor — I was able to reduce it to a quarter of what it was. Life feels worthwhile again.
Groups across Aotearoa — and online
No referral, no appointment, no cost. Choose a group, or get in touch and we’ll help you find your fit.
Help us grow
Grow is free because of people like you. Your support keeps groups running and welcomes the next person who needs a hand.
You don’t have to do this alone
Reaching out takes courage — and you’re always welcome here, exactly as you are.
