SELF HELP GROUPS
We currently have a network of 11 self-help groups throughout Wales. Our aim is to have one in every town, so anyone affected by depression can access this valuable source of support whenever they need it.
The groups vary in the types of meetings that they hold and the activities that they engage in. However, they all provide a safe place where people can get and give support, share experiences and learn new coping strategies.
The groups are led by volunteer group facilitators so we do not give out their contact details. However, if you would like us to contact a facilitator on your behalf, please let us know.
