Does anyone know about an evening support group in or around Stoney Creek for people who have a spouse dealing with anxiety? Thank you!

Hey Barb,
I believe the Hamilton "Mood Menders" group is open both to individuals experiencing mental health issues and their family members/supporters: https://www.mooddisorders.ca/event/hamilton-peer-support-group-mood-menders-support-group

Unfortunately I work during the day, so this doesn't work for me. Are there any groups in the evening in Hamilton?

They also have a group with a speaker on the second Tuesday of each month from 7pm - 9pm. Here's there website for more info: http://moodmenders.ca/ (http://moodmenders.ca/)

The problem with Mood menders is that it is in the early afternoon. I had this problem when I was referred for CBT too - there was a ten month waiting period for sessions that weren't in the middle of the day and even then they began at five. Luckily I work close by and my workplace let me leave a few minutes early on Tuesdays. Apparently having mental health challenges and working traditional nine-to-five hours are not mutually compatible.
