About us
GROW is a community-based organisation that has helped Australians recover from mental illness through a unique program of peer-to-peer support and personal development. GROW is based on a 12 Step Recovery Program which provides peer-to-peer support, motivation and empowerment enabling members to take action to change their circumstances in a structured and supportive environment. GROW offers a range of programs including group meetings, youth focused programs, residential rehabilitation centres. GROW operates on peer-to-peer support and continues to provide leadership in this area across Australia through its flagship Grow group programs or the newer programs including Get Growing (school-based), eGrow (the classic grow program but online via Zoom), online forums, programs for prison inmates, and residential recovery programs for people with dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance misuse. We recognise the importance of prevention and early intervention. Our community educational programs provide education and information, promoting positive emotional and mental wellbeing within communities. Our workplace programme encourages organisations to support, create and promote positive mental wellbeing within the workforce. GROW is a free program available to anyone – you don’t need to have a diagnosis, you don’t need to have a medical referral to attend any of our programs (online or face-to-face).
