A Safe Space  for You
​

Whether you’re really struggling or managing your self-harm well, our groups give you the space to simply be yourself. Here you can drop the mask, connect with peers who understand, share your experiences, and explore healthier ways of coping — all without judgment or pressure.

​When & Where
  • Every Thursday
  • Social time: from 11:00 (arrive anytime that works for you)
  • Group: 12:30 – 14:00 (please arrive on time)
  • Afternoon social time: until 14:30
  • Location: Battle Scars, Onward Mental Health & Wellbeing Hub, Onward House, Millshaw Park Way, Leeds, LS11 0LS
Come for the whole session, or just join us for the group.

​What to Expect
  • A relaxed, safe space where you decide how much to take part
  • Optional activities like craft, art, and board games
  • Friendly social time before and after the group
  • No pressure — you’re welcome just to be with us

Extras
  • 1-to-1 support available on request (ask any Battle Scars team member)
  • Food isn’t allowed in the group room, but there are nearby spaces where it can be eaten
  • Our group agreement is read at every session and available to read anytime as a reminder
