PDA North America helps facilitate many PDA Peer-led Support groups throughout the USA and Canada.

Support Groups are free to join, and volunteer-led. Signups for PDA North America Support Groups can be found HERE.

If you’re interested in starting up a new Support Group, please reach out to supportgroups@pdanorthamerica.org.

*Support Group Disclaimer*
PDA North America offers peer-to-peer support groups as a space for individuals to connect, share experiences, and offer mutual support. These groups are facilitated by volunteers with lived experience and some are led by licensed clinicians or professionals. If your group is facilitated by a licensed professional, please note that they may be a mandated reporter.

Please note that PDA North America is not responsible or liable for any outcomes, actions, or issues that may arise from participation in these groups. We are promoting and supporting these spaces as a service to the community, but we do not oversee or manage the content of each session.

By participating in any support group, you acknowledge that your involvement is voluntary and that you are responsible for your own well-being and choices.
If you are experiencing a crisis or in need of professional mental health support, we encourage you to contact a qualified healthcare provider or crisis service in your area. support groups are led by people just like YOU and tend to fill fast, as there is a great need! If you are in need of a group and there are none available, please consider offering to facilitate one! You do not need to be a professional or expert to lead a support group – just need to be willing to host it monthly, weekly, or twice a month. We are happy to provide support to help get your group going and will even provide a training for any new groups on best practices.
