Do The Right Thing: Save GROW in IL
Tax deductible
Grow is a uniquely structured community mental health movement. It began in Sydney, Australia, in April 1957, and has since spread to six other countries -- New Zealand, Ireland, the U.S.A., England, Canada and Mauritis.
Grow's Program of Personal Growth, Group Method and Caring and Sharing Community have all been developed from the findings of former mental sufferers in the course of rebuilding their lives after mental breakdown.
Their groups, in fact, first known as Recovery Groups. This name was subsquently changed to Grow in order to meet the increasing demand for the groups' services in prevention as well as in rehabilitation, and even more broadly for a popular school of life and leadership for mental health.
Grow is anonymous, non-demonitional and open to all. Its groups are run by their members, sometimes with the friendly co-operation of a doctor, social worker, minister of religion or any mature member of the community.
Grow groups vary in size from 3 to 15 members.
Meetings are held weekly, last 2 hours and are followed by refreshments.
No membership fees or dues are charged. However, offerings at the end of group meetings are usual, but strictly voluntary.
No introductions are needed. Just come along.
