Our newest support group!

Queer Group: Our newest support group will provide a safe space specifically for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Here you can discuss how to navigate relationships with family, friends, partners and coworkers; how to broach mental health topics with chosen family and with partners; and the impact of stigma on our mental health and on caregiving experiences in the queer community. The group is open to 2SLGBTQIA+ people who either have their own mental health challenges or who care about someone who does.

AMI-Québec’s support groups provide a warm welcome to everyone. We are here for you!

We have support groups for:

Family and friends only: Family & Friends, BPD for Families, South Shore
Those suffering from mental illness only: Kaleidoscope
Mixed groups for both: Anxiety/OCD, Bipolar, Depression, Hoarding, Queer Group, Young Adults

Looking for a safe and confidential place to vent, learn, and hear from people who understand what you’re going through? Support groups aim to help participants feel less alone and better understood so that they can improve how they cope with the effects of mental health challenges and mental illness on their daily lives.

Facilitated by people who have experience, either as a family caregiver or having lived with mental illness, support groups offer an opportunity to develop a healthy perspective on mental illness, explore coping strategies, and learn about support services and resources in the community.

Like all our programs, our support groups are free!

Groups begin promptly at 6:30pm EST. We do not allow people into the groups after 6:45pm. Meetings end at 8pm.

If you have any questions, give us a call at 514-486-1448 during business hours (Monday-Thursday 9am-5pm and Friday 9am-4pm).

Please note that support groups are not set up to address crises. If you are experiencing a great or imminent concern for your well-being, consider contacting your therapist, treatment team, 811, or in case of immediate danger 911. You can find a list of crisis intervention organizations here and listening services here. A support group may not be the proper forum at such a time.
