Mental Health Support Groups
If you're anything like us, you've probably been in a position where the advice you've been given is to attend a group a two and your response has most likely been something like "I don't do groups" or "groups don't work for me", even though you've never tried one. Well, we can tell you that they actually do work for most people and are a great way to learn that you are not alone. Here are some general Mental Health Support Groups that are free for anybody to attend.
AMC (Andy's Man Club)
ANDYSMANCLUB are a men’s suicide prevention charity, offering free-to-attend peer-to-peer support groups across the United Kingdom and online. We want to end the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and help men through the power of conversation. #ITSOKAYTOTALK
Healthy Minds Groups
Our peer-support groups offer a welcoming space for individuals experiencing emotional distress. Whether you want to open up about your mental health journey or simply listen, the choice is yours. Our informal and relaxed gatherings provide you with the freedom to decide.
These are peer-support groups, where individuals like you come together to support one another. While they're not therapy sessions, many participants find therapeutic benefits in sharing their experiences.
Each group is guided by a trained volunteer facilitator or co-facilitators. Their role is to nurture a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive environment where the group can grow and flourish.
Staying Well
The Staying Well team works with adults in Calderdale to access hundreds of social and physical activities available in the community because we know that people with active social lives tend to be happier and healthier.
If you know someone who is isolated or vulnerable and would like support from Staying Well juts get in touch!
Please let us know if you have any local groups that we don't yet know about it and we will try and add them with permission.
