Group Therapy/support Groups in Hagerstown, MD?
Question by Rebecca P: Group therapy/support groups in Hagerstown, MD?
I live in Hagerstown, Maryland, and am looking for any support group or group therapy available in Hagerstown or nearby… not Frederick because I don’t drive, though. I am looking for a group in any or all of the following areas:
-Depression
-Anorexia/Bulimia
-Self-harm
-Trauma/PTSD/Abuse Survivor
-General mental illness
I’m not interested in AA, NA, OA, or NAMI because I’ve been to NAMI and OA and didn’t like them particularly. I don’t abuse alcohol or drugs so they aren’t suitable… any ideas? Places? Resources? I looked in the yellow pages and with various mental health agencies and am not having much luck. It’s so frustrating since Hagerstown is quite small… help, please?

You could try calling local mental health agencies and tell them you are looking for an ongoing group to join.
Tell them you are interested in group therapy.
These agencies have a number of therapy groups to join.
Also at a large hospital there might be support groups that interest you. I hope you find the group you are looking for. Best Wishes.
