AMF support groups are peer-led gatherings that offer a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where individuals can share their experiences, connect with others facing similar challenges, and receive mutual encouragement. These groups provide an invaluable space for healing, understanding, and empowerment.
Each group is facilitated by trained peers who bring lived experience, compassion, and expertise, ensuring that participants feel understood and respected. The peer-led model fosters trust and authenticity, allowing members to openly discuss their journeys without fear of judgment or stigma.
