**About our local meeting:** The FIRST Brisbane Recovering from Religion Support Group meets on Jan 18, and for the following events meets on the second Sunday of each month at the State Library of Queensland, Level 4, Room 4a at 10am-12pm local time. Full address: State Library of Queensland, Cultural Precinct, Stanley Pl, South Brisbane QLD 4101, Australia **PLEASE NOTE: RSVP is HIGHLY encouraged due to space limitations** Agenda: * Opening announcements * Introductions (You do not have to speak or give a real name) * General discussion on topics related to religious recovery, doubt, or non-belief. We offer peer support and suggest resources as needed. **No preaching, evangelising or proselytizing allowed**. * Closing announcements including information and resources of interest, followed by optional social hangout **What Recovering from Religion Is About:** Do you doubt your beliefs? Have questions about changing or leaving your faith? You are not alone—and we are here to help. Recovering from Religion (RfR) exists to provide ongoing, personal support for individuals who are examining, changing, or choosing to let go of their religious beliefs. We are **not** here to deconvert anyone or tell you what to believe. We **are** here to offer understanding, support, and healing during what can often be a challenging and emotional transitional period. This kind of transition can bring a wide range of feelings and may have a ripple effect across many areas of life. RfR Support Group meetings are designed to be **safe, anonymous spaces** where you can openly share doubts, fears, and experiences—without judgment, proselytizing, or biased feedback. If you need someone to talk to before your meeting date, RfR offers both a hotline and an online chat for immediate support. Call **[+61 2 8203 7137](tel:+61282037137)** or visit **[www.recoveringfromreligion.org](http://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/)** to chat online. There is **no cost** to attend our support groups. If you feel inspired to contribute, donations can be made at: **[www.recoveringfromreligion.org.au/donate](http://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate)** Please note that RfR volunteers are **peer supporters**, not licensed therapists. If you feel you may benefit from professional mental health support, we encourage you to explore the **Secular Therapy Project**. This service connects you with thoroughly vetted therapists who provide only evidence-based, non-religious treatment—no rosaries, no faith healing. Fees, insurance, and sliding scale options vary by provider. Learn more at **[www.seculartherapy.org](http://www.seculartherapy.org/)**.
