COPE is a voluntary led peer-support group for families, friends, and carers of people with serious mental health illness who experience psychosis. Our group offers a safe, non-judgemental, and welcoming environment where members can meet to share experiences, signpost each other to other services and look after their well-being. We meet once a month and offer support and encouragement to one another in a respectful, confidential, and supportive space. To be heard is valuable. There is a car park at the centre, though there are not many parking spaces. The centre recommends those who are unable to walk more than a short distance park there and all others can park in the adjoining Cricketfield Car Park – this is a Pay and Display Long Stay carpark which is connected to the centre car park via a short footpath. The centre is a 13 min walk from Newton Abbot railway station and is well connected by buses. The group meets in the Yellow Room. There is provision for making hot drinks and refreshments in a small kitchenette and tea and coffee will be provided but members will be advised to bring their own lunch if required. Please drop us a line on the group email to find out more – we look forward to meeting you!

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. We have three groups running: 1. A virtual meeting runs on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7pm. Contact us for details. 2. A face-to-face meeting is held on the 4th Monday of each month from 7pm at Meadowfield Hospital, Swandean, Arundel Road, Worthing BN13 3EF. 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. 3. A drop-in session takes place on the first Wednesday of the month between 10:30am and 1pm, at The Happy Teapot Cafe, 7 Richmond Rd, Worthing BN11 1PN (opposite Worthing Library). Stay for 5 minutes, the whole time, or anywhere in between.
