Where Recovery Meets Community @ CMHA
Connection is a powerful part of healing. This page highlights the in-person support groups currently available at CMHA, along with descriptions to help you find the community and support that best fits your journey.
Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous is a worldwide fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength, and hope with one another to support recovery from alcohol use disorder. Founded in 1935, AA is built on the belief that recovery is possible through peer support, personal accountability, and spiritual growth. Meetings are free, confidential, and open to anyone who has a desire to stop drinking. Through the guidance of the Twelve Steps, fellowship with others in recovery, and ongoing support, AA provides a safe and welcoming community where individuals can find hope, healing, and a new way of life.
All Recovery
All Recovery is an inclusive, peer-based support group that welcomes individuals seeking recovery from addiction, mental health challenges, and other life struggles along with family members, friends, and allies who support the recovery journey. Unlike pathway-specific programs, All Recovery honors and embraces all pathways to healing, including 12-step programs, faith-based recovery, clinical treatment, medication-assisted recovery, harm reduction, mindfulness, and self-directed recovery. This group provides a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where individuals can share experiences, build meaningful connections, gain hope, and strengthen their recovery alongside others who understand that there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing.
The Resilience Circle
The Resilience Circle is a peer-led mental health support group designed to help individuals build strength, connection, and hope through shared lived experience. Facilitated by a Certified Peer Specialist, this group focuses on resilience, personal growth, and recovery rather than diagnoses or labels. In a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment, participants are encouraged to share openly, learn practical coping tools, and connect with others navigating mental health challenges.
Featuring guest speakers from the RESPECT Institute through the Georgia Mental Health Consumer Network every other week, The Resilience Circle offers inspiration, empowerment, and real stories of strength, recovery, and hope while reminding participants that healing happens in community.
TraumAnon
TraumAnon is a 12-step, peer-led support group for trauma survivors. Designed for individuals whose past experiences continue to impact their emotions, relationships, self-worth, and daily life, TraumAnon offers a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space for healing and connection. Rather than focusing on retelling traumatic events, this group explores how trauma shows up in the present—through patterns such as people-pleasing, boundary struggles, anxiety, hypervigilance, shame, emotional shutdown, and negative self-talk. Through the Twelve Steps, shared lived experience, mutual support, and practical recovery tools, members are empowered to move beyond survival mode and toward healing, resilience, healthy relationships, and lasting personal growth.
Restore and Rise Yoga
Restore & Rise Yoga is a completely free, trauma-informed support group designed to promote healing through both the mind and body. This group offers a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space for individuals seeking emotional wellness, recovery, stress relief, and deeper connection with themselves and others. Through gentle movement, breathwork, mindfulness practices, grounding techniques, and body-based healing, participants are invited to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and build resilience at their own pace.
No prior yoga experience is needed—just a willingness to show up exactly as you are.
Restore & Rise honors the connection between trauma, mental health, and the body, creating a supportive community where healing, restoration, and personal growth can unfold one breath at a time.
Codependents Anonymous (CoDa)
Co-Dependents Anonymous (CoDA) is a 12-step, peer-led support group for individuals seeking healthier relationships with themselves and others. Designed for those who struggle with codependency, people-pleasing, unhealthy boundaries, control, approval-seeking, or losing themselves in relationships, CoDA provides a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space for healing and personal growth. Through the Twelve Steps, shared experience, honest self-reflection, and mutual support, members learn to develop self-worth, set healthy boundaries, communicate authentically, and build relationships rooted in respect, balance, and emotional wellness. CoDA empowers individuals to move from patterns of survival and self-sacrifice toward recovery, self-discovery, and living true to themselves.
The Plug Support Group
The Plug Support Group is a peer-led recovery and accountability support group created for individuals with past or present involvement in accountability courts, diversion programs, or the Day Reporting Center (DRC). Designed to keep people connected beyond the program, The Plug provides a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where participants can reconnect with peers who understand the journey of recovery, accountability, and rebuilding life. Through open discussion, shared lived experience, encouragement, and ongoing peer support, members strengthen healthy connections, celebrate progress, navigate real-life challenges, and stay plugged into a community that supports continued growth, purpose, and long-term recovery. Whether you are currently in a program, recently graduated, or years removed from the system, The Plug is a place to stay connected, stay accountable, and stay in recovery—because healing doesn’t end when the program does.
S.O.S. Survivors of Suicide Loss
Survivors of Suicide Loss (S.O.S.) is a safe, compassionate, and confidential support group for individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide. Designed for survivors navigating the complex emotions that often follow suicide loss—including grief, guilt, anger, confusion, trauma, and unanswered questions—S.O.S. provides a judgment-free space where healing can happen in the presence of others who truly understand. Through shared stories, peer support, connection, and compassionate conversation, participants are reminded that they do not have to walk this journey alone. S.O.S. offers hope, understanding, and a community of support as individuals learn to carry their loss, honor their loved ones, and move forward one day at a time.
