Support Groups
We are excited to announce that we are back in person and we can’t wait to see you!
The first step to solving any problem is admitting there is something that needs fixing. Seeking help can be difficult, we at Ridgeview Institute understand that. When you seek help for a mental health disorder or substance abuse problem, it isn’t a sign of weakness, it is a showing of strength and a sign that you truly love yourself, and want to remove an obstacle in your life.
At Ridgeview Institute, we want to be your guiding hand, and the need for support groups in our local area can’t be understated. With this in mind, Ridgeview Institute offers a variety of free, open support groups for anyone in our community who is in need of help.
Currently, our free support groups are only available at our Smyrna location, with a possible extension of free support group programs at Ridgeview Institute Monroe a possibility in the future.
Our group therapy programs meet 7 days a week, during the traditional workweek (Monday through Friday), our earliest session starts at 6:00 PM. Our goal is to be as available to our local populations as possible and allow them to maintain their work-to-home balance as well. Our weekend (Saturday & Sunday) group therapy sessions have both morning & evening times, to ensure flexibility for anyone interested.
