Virtual adult peer support groups (using Zoom)
|
Our virtual groups run all year round including holidays
Please see calendar below for dates & times Standard self-harm peer support groups (1 hour long) - 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 (1 hour long) - 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. Social/activities group (1-1.5 hours long) - UK wide: Everybody on the standard and Inbetweeners groups invite list are invited. 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. Using video is optional. |
"It's good that we can laugh together and have some fun, but also learn and support each other when needed" 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. |

"Just wanted to share that this was such an amazing group. No more words. Just AMAZING. And so helpful" "It was really moving today, for the first time to be able to be with people who suffer the same problems as me. I didn't know there were other people who felt like that too. I suddenly felt less like a freak. I was sobbing so much. I anticipated that the group might trigger me to self-harm, but actually, I felt quite euphoric afterwards - liberated" |
