• Tag: People with Mental Illness

We are a peer support group for women experiencing mental health issues, and we welcome adults of all ages, including those residing in Hampshire and the neighbouring counties. You don't need a formal or specific diagnosis to attend, and our group may benefit you if you'd like a safe place to talk, feel less alone with your struggles, make social connections, learn from others, develop your confidence and self-esteem. Sometimes, we focus on a specific life area, such as self-care or relationships, and occasionally we have speakers in the group, yet it's more about being yourself in the group and sharing how things are for you. We offer an environment where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, valued and accepted, and you can attend the group for as long as you wish. We understand that it can feel scary coming into the group for the first time, yet we're here for you, and say it's worth giving it a try. If you'd like to attend the group, please contact our Group Coordinator, Vicky Mould.

Do you care for someone with a mental illness and want to talk to someone in a similar situation? We meet once a month for two hours on a Thursday evening to share experiences and learn more about mental illness and navigating the health and social care systems. Occasionally, we invite a speaker to talk at a meeting, for example, we recently heard from an expert on the complexities of medication. Please come along and join us. You will find us ready to listen and share experiences in a safe and confidential space. Our aim is to encourage conversation and help build contacts and friendships. We know how hard it can be to make that first step, so please contact our group coordinators to learn more about us.

We are a peer-led support group for the carers, family members and friends of people with lived experience of mental illness. We also welcome people living with mental illness who wish to attend, as both sets of people share similar issues. Every month, we try to arrange for a guest speaker to talk to the group about their specialist area but always leave time for people to share concerns and receive support.
