Our meetings are currently online held on the last Thursday of every month at 7pm.
Group Coordinator: Caron
We are a supportive, peer-led group of people who have a lived experience of trauma. Trauma can be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual and it comes from a range of experiences. We understand that the lived experience is different for everyone and therefore the impact that trauma can leave is different for everyone. No judgement. Confidential. Understanding. Connection. Support. Hope. Growth. Happiness. Nobody should have to go through challenging times alone so we come together to share TIPS and coping strategies, so we can build resilience and grow a brighter future. The group will offer a safe space for people in the Dovercourt and Harwich area to come together in a relaxed environment. Alone we may be strong but together we are stronger.

We are an online group for men with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD). We are a small community of men who meet weekly on zoom and also have a WhatsApp group to keep us connected and provide support to each other. Members can use one or both of these methods for support. We work on an informal drop-in basis so members are not expected to attend all of our meetings - it's fine to come along whenever you need a bit of extra support! We aim to provide a friendly, safe social space for our members to come together and support one another. Through supporting one another, we are able to explore some of the traits of our diagnosis, work out some coping strategies for ourselves and increase our knowledge about what we are experiencing, which in turn will help us to live our lives in a better way. We are open to men from Norfolk and Suffolk, however we do have members who live outside of this area so wherever you live, please do get in touch!
