Discussion Boards

The main UK based Social Anxiety Discussion Board is at www.social-anxiety-community.org
Please note SAUK, and its discussion board, are a separate and external organisation. SAAUK (the charity) cannot be held responsible for any of the posts or content. Please use all the caution you would with any social media site before posting.
The discussion board has been in existence for over 20 years and has had 48,000 members over that time. It is moderated (by moderators who review contentious or inapproriate posts) but there is always a time lag between posts and moderation.

UK Meetup Groups

Meetup is a big organisation and there are several Social Anxiety groups within it. The groups listed below will be a mix of people with Social Anxiety who meet (or Zoom) to socialise or chat. Some groups also run courses and workshops on particular topics. Meetup users do not need to pay a fee to sign up for the website or attend an event. The only people who pay are those who host a meeting.
