Online adult peer support groups (using Zoom) 

Self-harm peer support groups (standard) UK-wide:
We are running groups on different days and at different times. Each group runs every fortnight and we currently have a total of 6 groups taking place over this 2-week period: 

1. Monday evening (6.30 pm)
2. Tuesday morning (11.30 am)
3. Wednesday evening (6.30 pm) 
4. Thursday afternoon (12 noon)
5. Thursday evening (6.30 pm) 
6. Friday morning (11.30 am) 
7. Friday afternoon (1 pm) 
8. NEW social/activities group Friday evening (6.30) - everybody on the standard and Inbetweeners groups invite list will be invited. 
   

These groups may be more suitable for people who frequently struggle with self-harm (incl. eating disorders). 

Self-harm peer support groups (Inbetweeners) 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).​

​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 where you feel you fit best at the time. 

​Please select which group(s) you are interested in by filling in the form below. 
​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. ​

"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 facilitators) and booking is on a first-come, first-served basis. Invites are sent out 2-3 days before each group. ​ If you'd like to check either the standard or Inbetweeners group out as a professional, please contact us. ​

We're using Zoom which is free to use and all groups are one hour long.  Using the camera is optional.  

If you're interested in these groups - whether you've attended Battle Scars before or not - please fill in the short form below. In order to keep numbers manageable, only people who have registered their interest get the invites.

"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.
