We are very pleased to announce MSM is opening a peer support group at Colwich & Little Haywood Village Hall starting Thursday 23rd October. Initially, the group will run from 11am until 2.00pm, offering support, information, & signposting both to those experiencing mental health difficulties & to carers.
Rural living can generate additional challenges to those already having to contend with psychological & emotional distress - social isolation, reduced opportunity, shame & stigma - & we aim to reflect this as the group develops. As a peer support group, development & ownership rests in the hands of those who attend, so who is to know where they will take this project? But, to get going we intend to have a fun, inclusive range of activities underpinning each week's get together; from create & bake, through relaxation & mindfulness training, to BiteSize Wellbeing Workshops.
For further information or to express interest in attending, the group has an active email address midstaffsmind.ruralgroup@gmail.com or contact MSM on 01543 896876
