Our group aims to be a safe place for carers to offload their problems and support each other, knowing they will not be judged. We have all had personal experience of caring for someone close to us, and so we understand what it can be like supporting someone through a challenging treatment path. We have occasional speakers, and try to be involved in local decision making to help improve the situations of carers and their loved ones.

We are a supportive, peer-led group of people who have a lived experience of trauma. Trauma can be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual and it comes from a range of experiences. We understand that the lived experience is different for everyone and therefore the impact that trauma can leave is different for everyone. No judgement. Confidential. Understanding. Connection. Support. Hope. Growth. Happiness. Nobody should have to go through challenging times alone so we come together to share TIPS and coping strategies, so we can build resilience and grow a brighter future. The group will offer a safe space for people in the Dovercourt and Harwich area to come together in a relaxed environment. Alone we may be strong but together we are stronger.
