We are a peer support group run by carers of those with lived experience of mental illness. We understand the pressure of juggling carers responsibilities with everyday life. We aim to provide a safe, welcoming space where you can share your experiences and coping strategies, and, most importantly, talk freely about how you feel. We hope our group helps to reduce social isolation and enables people to make new friends.

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.

Our aim is to offer an introduction to Mantra Meditation which is facilitated in a peer group, through guided meditation from the awakening network. Our group is for people who have a lived experience of mental illness. Mantra meditation is the process of quieting and focussing the mind using a sound, word or phrase recited either aloud or silently. We welcome you to come along to our peer support group and try this method of meditation with us.

Do you have a brother or sister living with mental illness? The Bristol Siblings Group is here to help you. We offer a space in Bristol where you can meet other siblings with a brother or sister with mental health issues, share your experiences and the emotions you feel as a sibling, access information on mental health issues and sibling support and realise you are not alone. 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. We sometimes organise speakers to share information on relevant topics. Depending on what people want, we can do other things with the group as well, such as fundraising or organising events to help raise awareness of mental health issues. It’s up to all of us what direction we’d like the group to take, so please let us know your ideas. The group is open to anyone aged 18 and over with a brother or sister living with mental illness. We look forward to meeting you.
