The Group meets on the first Wednesday of every month from 7.30pm until 9.30pm except August & December (Venue is second turning on the left after the Marriot Hotel)
Group Coordinator: _
The purpose of our group is to bring together the parents and partners of people with first-hand experience of mental illness. We do this in an informal atmosphere where people can give each other mutual support. This is especially important for people whose loved ones have recently been diagnosed, and those who are new to the systems and challenges that people affected by mental illness commonly face.
