The Group Guide is a free national directory built for groups, not bolted onto a therapist finder. Seekers search by topic, state, cost, and format, and contact you directly. Your first listing is free for as long as it stays up, and takes about two minutes if you have a flyer.
What a seeker in Denver sees tonight. Yours could be the first card.
Already have a flyer? You already have a listing.
Upload the flyer you hand out, or paste your website. The Group Guide reads it and fills in the schedule, cost, format, topics, and description as suggestions. You tick what is right, fix what is not, and publish. Nothing is saved without your say-so.
About two minutes, most of it reviewing what the reader found.

Your first listing is free. No card, no trial.
Clinician-led groups take a founding seat: 100 seats in all, no more than 5 in any state, through December 31. One group, listed free for as long as the listing stays up. Enter your name and email, build the listing, done. Peer-led groups and no-cost community programs are always free, however many they run.
83 of 100 founding seats are left, and the offer closes December 31.
Paid plans exist for practices that want to be seen first, run several groups, and see the numbers. Nobody is nudged into one.
What the free listing includes
Built for the way groups actually fill.
People find groups through a friend, a flyer on a board, a search at 11 pm. Every feature here covers one of those.
Seekers reach you directly
Interested people message you through your listing. No middleman, no gatekeeping, no fee per contact. You decide how to reply and when.
EVERY PLANConfirmed by the group
Every 90 days you get one email with one button. Tap it and your page carries a dated confirmed mark that seekers trust. Something changed? Reply to the check-in email and it gets corrected.
EVERY PLANPrint a flyer in one click
A letter-size flyer built from your listing, with a QR code straight to your page. Pin it at the library, the clinic, the church basement. It updates itself when you edit the listing.
EVERY PLANYour own page
Run several groups? They live together on one page with one link and one QR code, so a NAMI affiliate or a hospital can print a single sheet for the lobby.
EVERY PLANSee what is working
Views and contacts for every listing, the search terms that led seekers to you, and on the first of the month a report on demand around your topics in your state.
PAID PLANSHandouts for the waiting room
Printable client and family education guides, co-branded with your organization name, with a QR code that opens your groups. Written by a clinician, not a marketer.

How your listings did, what seekers searched for in your state, and the part practices act on: the topics where seekers are searching and few groups exist. If you are thinking about starting a new group, this is where to start.
- Your numbers: views, contacts, and change from last month
- Demand in your state: the most searched topics, with how many groups serve each
- Seekers waiting: where searches outnumber therapist-led groups
- Counts are anonymous aggregates and only appear once at least five seekers are behind them

|---|---|---|---|
| Grief support | 41 | 8 | |
| Teen anxiety | 18 | 2 | SEEKERS WAITING |

Every listing is checked against the group's own website before it goes live.
The Group Guide was built on a simple premise: finding a group should not be harder than running one. Every new listing is checked against the organization's own website before it is published, usually within a day, and listings can be drafted from a flyer or a group list on request. Group leaders write their own listings; the directory does not vet, supervise, or endorse them. If something on a page is wrong, a reply to any message from the directory gets it corrected within the week.

NAMI affiliates, hospitals, EAPs, court programs.
Send a group list or a flyer and every listing is drafted for your approval. Then your groups appear on your own page, on a printable one-sheet, and inside a Find a Group widget you can drop on your own website so your clients search your groups and the rest of the directory without leaving your site.

Anytime, from your dashboard. Listings stay live until the end of the billing period.
A real person checks every new listing against your own website before it goes live, usually within a day. You write the listing; the directory does not vet, supervise, or endorse groups.
