Referred by a licensed provider

I was recommended to join this group from my therapist. I am in search of tools to support my self-esteem. I can't believe a group like this exists online — I always thought I'd have to find something in person.

Questions people ask before joining their first group

We know this can feel like a big step. Here are honest answers to what people wonder about most.

See all FAQs →
Are online support groups on MentalHappy private? +

Yes. Every member signs a confidentiality agreement before joining. You can also use our anonymous participation feature for extra privacy. Your conversations are never shared outside the group, and the platform is fully HIPAA-compliant.

What actually happens in a session? +

Sessions are led by a trained professional — a therapist, counselor, or certified coach. Each includes guided discussion, reflection, and practical tools. Groups are small and intimate, usually 5 to 15 people, on a regular schedule.

Do I have to talk? Can I just listen? +

Not at all. Many members start by just listening. You'll never be put on the spot or called on. Share when — and if — you're ready.

Is it really free to join? +

Creating your account is completely free. Groups range from free to low-cost — typically $5–$25 per session, with many donation-based options. You'll always see pricing before you commit to anything.

Do I need a therapist referral? +

No referral needed. Anyone can sign up. Many members come through therapist recommendations, but MentalHappy is designed to complement your existing care — not gatekeep it.

What if there's no group for what I'm going through? +

Request one. Submit a group request and we'll find a qualified leader to build it. You'll be notified the moment it launches.

Can I find support groups near me on MentalHappy? +

MentalHappy groups are fully online — available wherever you are, no local search required. Online also means access to far more topics and leaders than you'd find in your city, without the commute.

Your group is already out there.
