Agoraphobia & Panic Disorder Support Group – Online
About This Group
The ADAA Agoraphobia & Panic Disorder Support Group provides free online peer support for individuals living with agoraphobia, panic disorder, and severe anxiety that limits daily functioning. Agoraphobia — an intense fear of situations where escape might be difficult or help unavailable — can be profoundly isolating. This group connects you with others who understand that reality, offering validation, encouragement, and practical strategies for gradually reclaiming your life.
What to Expect
Online peer-to-peer support groups are facilitated through the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). Sessions provide a safe, confidential space to discuss experiences with agoraphobia and panic, share coping techniques, celebrate progress, and support one another through difficult moments. Topics include exposure therapy experiences, managing panic attacks, building a support network, and working with treatment providers. The virtual format makes these groups accessible even if leaving home is currently a challenge.
