Welcome to My Support Forums, a private online community of emotional and mental health support groups. Since 2001, we have provided a safe, supportive place online to share your thoughts & feelings, get support and advice, share your wins and stories, all without judgement. Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.
