Join our weekly Support Group
Every Saturday we gather online to create a space where people living with schizophrenia and related psychotic experiences can speak openly without judgement. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have lived with schizophrenia for many years, you'll be welcomed with respect, curiosity, and compassion. Connection is a profound source of healing. Find solidarity, share your unique narrative, and build relationships with peers who honor your truth.

What to Expect
These meetings are not therapy or lectures. They are conversations where people come together to share experiences, listen with care, and explore recovery, relationships, identity, voices, grief, hope, and everyday life—without judgement or pressure to speak.
Reflections from our conversations
Returning to Ourselves
Reflection from the Eighth Schizophrenia Support Group Meeting
Together we reflected on identity, loneliness, nature, trauma, and the quiet search for belonging. Sometimes healing is not about becoming someone new, but about gently finding our way back to the person we have always been beneath fear, expectation, and survival.
Read Reflection →Finding Hope in Despair
Reflection from the Seventh Schizophrenia Support Group Meeting
Together we reflected on loss, loneliness, work, creativity, and the quiet weight of despair. Sometimes hope does not arrive through easy answers, but through the simple experience of someone staying beside us until we no longer have to carry our darkness alone.
Read Reflection →Staying with the Voices
Reflection from the Sixth Schizophrenia Support Group Meeting
Together we explored grief, relationships, hearing voices, and the challenge of living alongside frightening experiences. Sometimes healing begins not when the voices disappear, but when we discover we no longer have to face them alone.
Read Reflection →What Does It Mean to Be Sane?
Reflection from the Fifth Schizophrenia Support Group Meeting
Together we reflected on recovery, self-trust, compassion, and the meaning of sanity after psychosis. Along the way, another question quietly emerged: perhaps healing begins when we find a place where we no longer have to explain ourselves before we are accepted.
Read Reflection →Feeling Unlovable
Reflection from the Fourth Schizophrenia Support Group Meeting
Our conversation explored the experience of hearing voices, living with stigma, and longing to be accepted without judgement. Sometimes healing begins not by silencing our inner voices, but by hearing another human voice remind us that we are worthy of love.
Read Reflection →Giving Pain a Place to Speak
Reflection from the Third Schizophrenia Support Group Meeting
Together we explored recovery, hidden stories, and the courage to speak about experiences that have long remained unspoken. Sometimes healing begins when our pain is finally heard with compassion, without shame, and without the need to explain it away.
Read Reflection →Learning to Step Back into Life
Reflection from the Second Schizophrenia Support Group Meeting
Our conversation explored the quiet courage of rebuilding life after psychosis—returning to work, facing loneliness, caring for loved ones, and finding hope in small everyday moments. Sometimes recovery begins not with dramatic change, but with taking one gentle step forward.
Read Reflection →Looking for a Place to Belong
Reflection from the First Schizophrenia Support Group Meeting
Three strangers came together to speak openly about schizophrenia, family, loneliness, and the longing to be understood. As the conversation unfolded, one quiet truth emerged: perhaps healing begins when we discover we no longer have to carry our experiences alone.
