Truth, Character and Friendship. Grow Frankston group provides mutual
support in a friendly and supportive environment for adults
experiencing emotional or mental health issues. Meetings are no cost,
confidential, anonymous and last two hours followed by a cuppa. No
referral or diagnosis is required. You do not need to register so
just come along. For more information phone the Grow Community Centre
on 1800 558 268, or (03) 9528 2977.www.Grow.org.au For 60 years, Grow
has been supporting the mental wellbeing of thousands of Australians
through our unique mutual help Program. Grow supports weekly meetings
of small groups of people who have experienced depression, anxiety or
other mental or emotional distress, and those who have a mental
illness diagnosis, who come together to help each other deal with the
challenges of life. Some people come to Grow while struggling with a
life crisis such as the loss of a loved one, a job or a relationship.
It can be extraordinarily liberating and affirming to share problems
with others who are encouraging and accepting, and facing similar
issues! Grow meetings are run by the members themselves, according to
a well-structured format. During the meeting, members can share their
problems, learn how to re-build their lives and report on their own
progress. Grow’s program of personal growth is based on changing
negative thinking and behaviour. It offers strategies on how to: Deal
with an emotional crisis, Manage feelings, Think by reason,
Realize personal worth, and Improve relationships.
Developing understanding, acceptance, confidence, control and
love is at the heart of the Grow program. Many people have been able
to rebuild lives with the help of Grow. Meetings are supportive,
non-threatening, positive and constructive. Members are known in their
group on a first name basis only and make a commitment to
confidentiality. No fees are charged, however a small donation to
meet necessary expenses is usual, though strictly voluntary. A variety
of training and social activities backs up the essential group
process.
