It is not a counselling or therapy service as there are no mental health practitioners or group leaders involved. Everyone at the group is in need of a safe and confidential space to talk through the difficulties they are experiencing with others who can empathise and relate. The aim of the group is self-help while at the same time supporting each other...
It can feel overwhelming to come along for the first time but everyone else there will have been through their first time coming along, so you will be treated with respect and sensitivity.
