GROW is an international mental health movement with approximately 650 groups in four different countries, including the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Membership is diverse -- some Growers are recovering from mental illness; others are struggling with problems in living such as stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression, or grief; and others are working on personal growth issues.
The organization was founded in Sydney, Australia, in 1957, by several former mental patients who were first inspired by what AA was doing for Alcoholics. These founding members of GROW discovered that they could recover together by sharing personal resources and find their way back to full health through a twelve step program.
GROW's mission is to promote mental health recovery, personal growth and prevention within our weekly mutual help support groups and throughout our supportive community. As members we strive first to take personal responsibility for changing ourselves,
