Advice & Tips
Positive male relationships have been very few in my entire life. With this support group, the change in my wellbeing is amazing. I feel accepted as a gay man, and truly value the relationships and camaraderie that has developed over the months. This is a must for men and boys of all ages!

Advice & Tips
I started attending this group for Bipolar because I could not find a group for my condition. I felt very judged because of my age in the group. I feel that money that was "requested" at one meeting was not for intended purposes. A few days later the hospital confirmed this. The people attending the group had been doing so for years yet I saw no change or progression in recovery or stability.
