Recovery involves gaining quality of life through meaningful roles, relationships, and participation in the community. Recovery is less about cure and more about living a satisfying life.
It is often difficult to talk about the experience of anxiety but unless others know what you are going through it is difficult for them to be supportive.
My experiencing as a support group facilitator has been extremely
rewarding. I can see the benefits the groups provide our participants when they
return each session with things to share, and many say that they are just
grateful to have a safe space to connect with people going through similar
things. Some participants have also expressed that in Victoria they cannot
access support groups similar to those that ARCVic provides (e.g. for body
dysmorphia), so they are grateful that ARCVic allows them to share on these
matters and feel less alone. Nicola
