We are a group that has been established for many years and meet for mutual support and the sharing of information. We are all carers of people with lived experience of mental illness and can offer help and understanding to those in a similar position. We like to fundraise too, whether by holding a collection at Tesco or running a stall at Drayton Fair. We organised a very successful exhibition at Ilminster Art centre in 2018, which aimed to challenge preconceptions surrounding mental illness and highlight the need for support. Our bi-monthly meetings are informal and usually take place in a local café. We welcome all newcomers with open arms.

The Positive Anxiety Group meets every last Wednesday of the month and started in the spring of 2018. We set up for those with a mental Illness, whether it is anxiety or depression, who do not necessarily have a diagnosis but nevertheless do need support. Members of this group prefer to go out together, visiting areas of interest in the vicinity. We have visited Powderham Castle Craft and Art Exhibition, had a cream tea in Honiton, visited Exeter Quay and Totnes, just to name a few! Please do make contact and come and join us for relaxed and fun peer support.

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 an online support group for women experiencing depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, yet you don't need a formal diagnosis to join or benefit from the group. We welcome adults of all ages, including those residing in Hampshire and the neighbouring counties. We use a video platform called Whereby, yet you don't need to download anything or create a Whereby account. We can offer a safe, trusting and non-judgemental space where you can talk, receive and give support, and make new friendships. We understand that it can feel scary meeting online, and joining a group for the first time, yet we are here for you. If you're interested in joining us and would like to find out whether the group may be for you, please contact our Group Coordinator, Vicky Mould.
