Online adult peer support groups (using Zoom)
Our groups run all year round including holidays

Self-harm peer support groups (standard) UK-wide:
We are running groups on different days and at different times and may be more suitable for people who frequently struggle with self-harm (incl. eating disorders). Inbetweeners self-harm peer support group - UK-wide: If you struggle with urges but either do not act on them or only rarely self-harm, need a "lighter touch" sort of support, or wish to avoid the possibility of being triggered by holding discussions with people who use self-harm more, the "Inbetweeners" peer support group is also an option. This group runs every 2 weeks on a Thursday evening (6.30-7.30 pm - week 2) Social/activities group - UK wide: Friday evening (6.30) - everybody on the standard and Inbetweeners groups invite list are invited. You will be expected to also attend standard or Inbetweeners groups (only running every 4 weeks during the summer) Each group runs every fortnight. There are no restrictions for people who wish to use a variety of groups. We understand that support needs vary and change. You can switch between them or access multiple ones as and when you need them/want to. We're using Zoom which is free to use and all groups are one hour long even though the social group could be longer. Using video is optional. UPDATED TIMETABLE:
Social - Friday evening (6.30 pm) - every 4 weeks during the summer
Standard - Sunday afternoon (1 pm) suspended during the summer months What's a group like?

Standard or Inbetweeners?
We only ask that you gauge which group is more suitable for you but you can attend both or switch between them depending on what you need and where you feel you fit best at the time.

"The advice I was given has all been so amazing and has helped me to come out of my shell and speak at groups and even say out loud about my eating disorder" Groups are capped to 12 (including 2-3 facilitators) with the exception of the social group which is capped to 15 and booking is on a first-come, first-served basis. Invites are sent out a couple of days before each group. If you'd like to check either the standard or Inbetweeners group out as a professional, please contact us. |
If you're interested in these groups please fill in the short form below. In order to keep numbers manageable, only people who have registered their interest get the invites. Please select which group(s) you are interested in by filling in the form below. Please note you have to join the standard or Inbetweeners groups in order to get invites to the social group. "Groups are well run but relaxed. I’ve felt able to talk not only about my SH but also about other aspects of my mental health without judgement. |
