Peer support - temporarily cancelled

Please Note - all our support groups will be cancelled for the forseeable future.

This is a regrettable step BUT like everyone else in the city, we are doing our very best to reduce the spread of illness to our staff and service users.

We will keep you all posted on news as and when things change and hope to resume group sessions as soon as we get the go ahead that to do so is safe.

Mind have issued some tips on how to take care of yourselves in this difficult time so do check the link below

Our Support Groups

We run a range of informal peer support groups for people who are looking for additional support to their formal treatment or companionship and inspiration from people who are able to share details of their own experiences.

Many people feel more comfortable discussing issues with people who have experienced something similiar themselves and our support groups are designed to provide users with a safe and supportive space in which to share their experiences, seek advice and information about alternative services and help build confidence through social interaction.

The groups are designed to encourage self help and resilience building is key to the activities and support provided by the attending staff and volunteers. Users can participate in games and discussion groups, try their hand at new activities and therapies with regular taster sessions and get access to self help guides and information.
