Online Support Groups
Our online support groups are open to anyone aged 18 or over living with depression, anxiety, bipolar, or low mood. They’re ideal for people who can’t attend in-person sessions - whether due to comfort, confidence, or convenience.
The online support groups are similar to our existing face-to-face groups. The only difference is that they take place on Zoom (online video calling software).
Zoom is easy to set up and use, and our team can help you.
Our online support groups allow you to come together online with others experiencing similar problems. You will find out more about low mood, depression, anxiety, and bipolar through peer support and the treatments and services available. The online support group will help you share your experiences and discuss self-help strategies and coping skills that will help in your recovery.

I feel more comfortable opening up from home, knowing I can join from my own space takes a lot of that pressure away. It’s also easier to fit around my daily routine.

AWARE NI has helped me immensely. The facilitators listen, show compassion and offer advice that's helped me so much. I struggle with a few mental health problems and being at these meetings has been a life saver for me.

Group rules
Due to the nature of the meetings, everything discussed is strictly confidential. You must not talk about it outside the group. In addition, you should not reveal the identity of group members to others.
You are asked to show respect for other group members and facilitators, including accepting other members’ opinions and listening, not interrupting or conducting secondary conversations when others are speaking.
AWARE NI operates a zero-tolerance policy on disruptive, threatening behaviour or offensive language directed at staff, facilitators or other group members. Any member engaging in this type of behaviour or who, in the opinion of the facilitators, is under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be asked to leave immediately. Facilitators may suspend a group if they feel safety is an issue.
AWARE NI discourages one-to-one relationships between group members or group members and facilitators outside of the group setting.
All members are requested to arrive on time and remain for the entire meeting.
