Salisbury Rethink Carers Support Group
Services and Groups |Last updated: 24/05/2024
May 2024: Do you support or care for a partner, child, family member or friend with a mental illness and want to talk to someone in a similar situation? It may be that you’re feeling a little isolated and seeking some support and respite for yourself. Whatever it is, our voluntary led peer support groups may be able to help. They offer a safe, confidential, friendly, and welcoming space, where members can share their experiences without judgement from others. That’s because you’re amongst people that share similar experiences to you, who understand what you’re going through and the challenges that often arise when trying to access support for those you support and care for. In addition to being a place to receive mutual peer support, and encouragement, the groups can offer further information and signposting to services that may be able to offer further support to you in your caring role, and the person you support or care for. If you would be interested in being involved with such a group or would like to see a group for carers running in Salisbury or any of the surrounding areas, then please contact the Southwest Community Group Development Officer, Dominique Toyra, on the contact details above.

Trauma Informed Peer Support Group - North Essex (Tips NE)
Services and Groups |Last updated: 20/06/2023
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.
