HAND UP

Hand Up is a mental health support group network in Townsville, QLD. We are a group of people who have experienced depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses who come together to share our experiences, by doing so we find and offer understanding, acceptance and friendship.

We find that being involved in a support group aids our recovery and is a valuable addition to the professional treatment that we receive from our GPs or other mental health professionals.

We have two support groups:

The Hand Up support group meets on Tuesdays, from 9.30am-11.30am at Saint Matthews Church Hall, Hermit Park. Contact John on 4779 2203

The Hand Up Depression & Anxiety support group meets on Thursdays, from 7.00pm- 9.00pm at 159 Kings Road, Pimlico. Contact Karen on 4729 0629 or email: karen@handup.org.au , tim@handup.org.au or lisa@handup.org.au

Although Hand Up claims not to be a professional service, Hand Up offers support and friendship to its members. Each member, however, is responsible for their own progress in their mental health and well-being.
