The list below was originally intended for mental health or related support groups. Since there is no comprehensive list of support groups in Central New York, we have expanded the list to include all support groups in the area. For additions, deletions or changes, please click on the Contact tab to email us.
A suggestion that some of us learned the hard way: Contact the support group before attending to verify the meeting details.
