The Anxiety Recovery Centre Victoria (ARCVic) is a state-wide, specialist mental health organisation, providing support, recovery and educational services to people and families living with anxiety disorders. We aim to support and equip people with knowledge and skills that will build resilience and recovery and reduce the impact of anxiety disorders.
Community support and self-help services play a vital role in promoting the emotional, mental and social well-being of people living with anxiety disorders. Supporting people to learn and implement effective self-help and self management of their symptoms will contribute to inner resilience, quality of life and recovery. Isolation and alienation from family, friends and the community militate against recovery. Regaining a sense of belonging and confidence with others is often most effectively achieved through connection with a community of people with common conditions and experiences. ARCVic run monthly and fortnightly self help support groups around Melbourne and Victoria facilitated by volunteers, have a Helpline if you'd like to chat to an understanding volunteer, have a library of resources at our office in Surrey Hills, a penpal network, recovery programs run by professionals, social events/activities hours, and community education programs and trainings.
This is a group where you will be able to connect with others who are in a similar boat, and find out about all our regular support group meetings around Victoria, recovery programs and social activities.
We hope to meet you soon!
