Online Support Groups Near Jackson, Mississippi

Whether you are in Jackson, Madison, Ridgeland, Flowood, Brandon, Clinton or anywhere else in the metro, ShareWell has live online support groups you can join from home. Jackson is a city of churches and close families, and that gives people a lot to lean on. It also means depression, divorce, drinking and doubt get carried in private, because saying them out loud would be saying them to everyone.

Every group meets online by live video, so you can join from home.

These online groups start during the day and evening in Central time, so they fit a day near Jackson.

What you pray about but cannot say at church

In Jackson and the suburbs across the Pearl River, your church knows your family, your family knows your neighbors, and your neighbors knew your mother. That web holds people up through a lot. It also makes it very hard to admit a marriage is ending, that you cannot stop drinking, or that you have been low for months, because the admission travels. State workers, teachers and hospital staff keep up appearances through long weeks. Young professionals who stayed when friends left for Atlanta or Dallas feel the city shrinking around them. Many people here have a pastor and a mother to call, and still nobody to tell the truth to.

Why it helps

How peer support helps near Jackson

A peer group is small, online and made of people from outside your town, which is exactly why you can say the thing you have been praying about. You join from home in Madison or Byram, and faith is welcome in the room without being the point of it.

  • Depression and anxiety behind a composed face

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I join from Madison or Brandon instead of Jackson?

    Yes. The groups are online, so Madison, Ridgeland, Flowood, Brandon, Clinton, Pearl, Byram and Canton all join the same way.

    I am a person of faith. Will this clash with that?

    No. Many members are, there are groups specifically for faith and spirituality, and nobody will argue with your beliefs.

    Will people from Jackson be in my group?

    Members come from all over the country, so it is unlikely, and you can keep your last name to yourself.

    Is this therapy or counseling?

    No. These are peer groups led by people with lived experience, and many members use them alongside a counselor or pastor.
