  • Please be kind in your communications. Please be patient as it may take 2-3 days to get a response depending on the contact's availability.
• EA meetings are designed to be open to anyone with a desire to improve their mental health. In some cases, a meeting can be oriented toward a specific group of individuals, such as men, women, specific ethnic backgrounds etc. and/or groups with unique shared experiences in order to best meet the needs of those choosing to attend. EA’s goal is to meet the needs of all who wish to become well emotionally; therefore we support a range of meeting types.
• Anonymity and confidentiality are important to everyone in the program.
  • By continuing this search, you agree to maintain the confidentiality of all members of EA.

NOTE: In California, there are some EA groups that meet in Spanish. If you are interested in those meetings, please select "Español (Spanish)" or “English & Spanish” for the language and select "California (CA)" for the state. You will need to translate some of the information into Spanish.
