Mutual Support Group
The Mental Health Mutual Support Group is a small, committed, self-facilitated group of people who are experiencing mental distress, developed by Brent Mind staff in collaboration with the group members. It is a friendly group where you can gain support while supporting others and developing your confidence and skills. The group members find that being with other service users is helpful and rewarding - and often they are the people best able to understand your problems and feelings. Also, by talking and listening to people with similar experiences and concerns it may be possible to gain a better understanding of your own.
The support group recognises that everyone is an individual with strengths and weaknesses, talents and difficulties, and it is based on mutual respect and concern for others.
The group meets every Friday afternoon from 2pm to 4.30pm. Much of this time is dedicated to getting to know one another, sharing experiences and supporting one another through listening and group exercises as well as discussing interesting or important topics, decided by group members. Support for group members is provided by the Day Services Coordinator.
(Some level of commitment will be required)
