Agoraphobics Building Independent Lives (ABIL, Inc.) is a non-profit "grassroots volunteer organization" dedicated to providing hope, support, and advocacy to people affected by panic attacks, phobias, and/or agoraphobia. By establishing nationwide self-help groups and providing public education, ABIL has worked since 1986 to improve treatment and awareness, both medical and social, of people with panic disorders. ABIL publishes a quarterly newsletter and brochures, establishes telephone and pen pal connections, conducts lectures, makes appropriate referrals, and maintains a database of information for the general public. If there is no local ABIL support group available, ABIL also offers guidelines, materials, and support for those interested in creating support groups in their communities. Memberships are available at a yearly rate.
