SADAG Support Group Leader Training
The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) runs the largest known network of support groups in the country (it’s currently got over 170 going!). This organisation offers free facilitator training both for those planning on organising a support group in their network, as well as for those who want to run a support group independently or in another organisation.
SADAG hosts the training live once a year and asynchronously otherwise. To sign up for the training programme, please contact SADAG’s support group co-ordinator Amber-leigh on supportgroups@anxiety.org.za
To get ideas for a new group, have a look at the groups running and those that support group leaders and mental health experts think we need.
