One in five adults in the U.S. experience some form of mental illness, and about one in 20 people experience severe cases.[1]
Still, only around 45% of adults with mental illness in the U.S. receive treatment each year,[1] highlighting the importance of increased mental health care groups and programs.
Research shows that support groups — whether family-led or professionally-led — are very effective.[2]
Whether you’re creating a support group or therapy group or are a mental health professional visiting a conference or naming an advocacy group, it’s important to find a name that reflects your team or group’s purpose in a way that is sensitive to people with mental health struggles.

How to Create a Good Mental Health Group Name
A good mental health group name can promote positive growth for both mental health professionals and those who need mental health support.
Keep the following tips in mind to create a strong name:
- Use positive language. Mental health groups, whether professional or for those seeking care, should keep a positive tone. Positivity shows acceptance and understanding rather than disapproval. A positive name can help defy the stigmas associated with mental health and mental health treatment.
- Debunk negative stereotypes. There are a lot of misconceptions and misunderstandings regarding mental health within the general public. Consider using your mental health group name to debunk stereotypes. For example, people often describe those with mental health struggles as “unbalanced”; you could use the word “balanced” in your group name instead.
- Reflect wellness and self-care. Regardless of what your group specializes in or who it’s intended for, the mental health field generally embraces wellness and self-care. Reflecting these concepts in your group name can add to the positive tone and show that you’re focused on mental health solutions.
- Be respectful. Along with positivity, respect is an essential element of any mental health group name. Sarcastic or snarky names are not well-suited for mental health groups.
