ABOUT SUPPORT GROUPS QLD (SGQ) 

As advocates for health and wellbeing, our grassroots experience and practical frameworks help build the presence and potency of support groups.  Connect with people from all walks of life who understand the nuance of your lived experience. Find an existing group or establish, shape, promote and nourish a new support group based on a united vision. 

Community-driven, we offer free services to help individuals, families, and carers seek and sustain support groups. From genetic conditions, chronic disease and mental health challenges to addiction, grief and loss, parenting, trauma, and abuse – connect to a collective.
