The Support Squad strive to bring together St. Mabyn residents and the surrounding local communities by promoting well-being and helping members of the group build valuable friendships. We aim to offer emotional support to adults with lived experience of mental illness, whether it be personally, or as caregivers, friends, or family, and provide them with the practical help needed to access local and national services. This information, peer support and signposting will be offered alongside a chance to share experiences, make new friends, and try new things, hoping that those attending the group may feel less isolated, more informed, and able to cope better.       The Support Squad is a voluntary led peer support group, led by a group of five coordinators – we are a happy and supportive group who meet at St. Mabyn Peace Memorial Hall in the centre of the village. There is an accessible carpark within walking distance. New members are encouraged to contact the group for joining details and information about the next meeting. So please drop us a line on the group email or call on the group phone to find out more – we look forward to meeting you! Please note we aim to respond to emails and telephone messages everyday but sometimes it may take a little longer to get back to you.

COPE is a voluntary led peer-support group for families, friends, and carers of people with serious mental health illness who experience psychosis. Our group offers a safe, non-judgemental, and welcoming environment where members can meet to share experiences, signpost each other to other services and look after their well-being. We meet once a month and offer support and encouragement to one another in a respectful, confidential, and supportive space. To be heard is valuable. There is a car park at the centre, though there are not many parking spaces. The centre recommends those who are unable to walk more than a short distance park there and all others can park in the adjoining Cricketfield Car Park – this is a Pay and Display Long Stay carpark which is connected to the centre car park via a short footpath. The centre is a 13 min walk from Newton Abbot railway station and is well connected by buses. The group meets in the Yellow Room. There is provision for making hot drinks and refreshments in a small kitchenette and tea and coffee will be provided but members will be advised to bring their own lunch if required. Please drop us a line on the group email to find out more – we look forward to meeting you!

Do you have a brother or sister living with mental illness? You are not alone! When your brother or sister is unwell it can be a difficult time for you and your family. You might have lots of questions and concerns. You might be worried about your sibling and how best to support them. You might need some support for yourself and find it difficult to know where to turn. The Bristol Siblings Group is a voluntary led peer support and we run the group in the evenings, once a month, via Zoom. A supportive space: Whether your sibling is experiencing ill mental health for the first time, or they have been affected by mental illness for longer, you are very welcome to come along to our monthly meetings where you can: • meet other siblings • share your experiences and the emotions you feel as a sibling • access information on mental health issues and sibling support • realise you are not alone. A place to share: The group is very friendly and informal, and you’ll have the chance to offload, and talk about whatever’s going on for you and your family. It’s up to you how much or little you talk, but you can feel sure there will people at the group who want to listen and connect with you. Information and learning: We share information on how to look after someone who is unwell or share ideas about how to look after our own mental health.
