Eastleigh Womens Wellbeing Group
Services and Groups | Last updated: 23/05/2023
You're very welcome to enquire about this group and arrange a 30-minute initial discussion, yet please note that spaces are limited. Our virtual/online support group is for women impacted by mental health issues, such as prolonged low mood/depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD or BPD/EUPD (and associated loneliness or social isolation, low self-confidence and self-esteem). But you don't need a formal mental health diagnosis to join - it's more important that you could benefit from the group. We can offer a welcoming, non-judgemental and understanding space to connect with and learn from others and receive and give support. As we meet online - using Whereby Video, you'll need the following: ● Access to a private room or space for the duration of each meeting ● To adhere to the group rules around confidentiality ● A mobile phone, tablet or computer/laptop with a camera and microphone installed ● A good internet connection and private WiFi connection ● A personal/private email address. Meetings take place fortnightly on Tuesdays, 5.30 pm - 7.00 pm. The Group Coordinator will email the details you need to access a scheduled group meeting. To enquire about the group, please email Vicky via eastleighwomenswellbeing@gmail.com or contact her via the group mobile.
