Support group for people whose partners are living with any mental health conditions – disorders that affect their mood, thinking and behavior such as depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors.
Experiencing a mental illness, also known as a mental health disorder, can be very hard on a relationship, especially when you live together. The stress of living with someone with mental illness may reach a crisis level and you may fall into a pattern where managing the mental health disorder becomes the thing around which the relationship is centered. This group is a safe space to discuss potential stressors, daily challenges, coping strategies, helping our loved ones with their symptoms and taking care of ourselves.
If you’re living with someone with mental illness, give this group a try. Although each mental health disorder has its own unique set of symptoms, most partners feel overwhelmed on the journey especially in the early days after symptoms/diagnosis. This is a space to navigate burnout and caregiving stress with others who get it.
• Individual challenges and coping mechanisms
• The overwhelm of managing health & financial issues
• Feeling pulled in too many directions
• Parenting together
• Supporting our partners
• Self-care is not selfish
• Asking for, accepting, and giving help
• Finding joy and connection despite the stress
I always wondered what I could do to help my husband and the struggles that come with depression. Once my husband was finally diagnosed, I came here and realized other partners experiencing the same things. “You too?!” is usually my response when listening to your heartfelt experiences.
Madhulekha Partner has depressionYou all have big hearts. Thank you for sharing your stories, hope, and making this partner of a person with anxiety feel a little less lonely.
Parth Partner has anxietyThe group was so understanding and listen without judgement. I only wish I would have found it sooner because I no longer feel quite as alone as I used too. Even if my situation with my partner hasn’t gotten better, having you guys here has made my own mental health just a tad better.

✔️ Small group, 6-8 people
✔️ Every meeting led by a world-class facilitator
✔️ Weekly 75-minute online video sessions
While the format can vary as per topic, here’s a flow that most sessions follow
Check In. Participants check-in with each others’ feelings and answer the prompt given by the facilitator if any.
Conversation. Your facilitator will guide the group in a free-flowing conversation—with the goal of sharing openly, talking honestly, and deep emotional connection.
Check Out. Participants share what they’re taking away from the session.
Participants say that they feel heard, understood, more in control, and a feeling that you’ve got people rooting for you. By talking about your emotions and what’s going on in your life, you’ll realise that you’re not alone and get ideas for how to improve your situation.
