Mental health problems are very real and very common. However, it can be difficult to find support for yourself, or someone you are caring for.

Run by someone who has had personal experience of severe mental health problems (see Contacts) this self-help group will aim to provide support to people who are experiencing mental health problems or those caring for them.

At the heart of this group's philosophy will be the idea of recovery - an individual journey to a more valued life. The group will adopt a whole person approach - recognising the value of seeing mental health from emotional, social and spiritual perspectives as well as a medical one.

How the the group will work will depend upon the needs and wants of its members. If there is sufficient demand, it may be possible to draw upon professional expertise.
