Supporting people to learn and implement effective self-help and self management of their symptoms will contribute to their inner resilience, quality of life and recovery.

Partnerships between professionals and consumers, and support and clinical services, will ensure that the experience and knowledge of people with anxiety disorders will be valued and heeded, and contribute to the development of appropriate and effective services.   ARCVic services include: Helpline Support Groups Recovery Programs Community Education Seminars Library Youth specific services Social Group & Pen Pals network Membership Donations
