Meetup groups

Meetup is a large organisation and there are many groups that use the tag “social anxiety” within them. Most of the groups are for social events or outings rather than structured meetings and can be a way to meet new friends.

If you are thinking of running a social anxiety group, it is important to make it safe and appropriate for those with SA. We suggest first reviewing the Example rules for running a social anxiety meetup group used by the longstanding London Shyness Social Group. Although this particular group is not aimed exclusively at those with social anxiety its groups rules are directly relevant.
