Group support for women - SPRING

SPRING is a group that supports women to make positive changes in a supportive and safe women only space.

Who we support

Our support group is a safe, welcoming space for women who:

• Are struggling with their mental health
• May be using drugs or alcohol
• Have experienced trauma or abuse
• May be at risk of offending or involved with the justice system.

The group is a chance to meet new people, enjoy a cuppa and a free lunch.

We offer a flexible 12 week programme where we will help you understand your behaviour and learn how to change it.

• Learn how to cope with difficult emotions and stressful situations.
• Build confidence and self esteem.
• Build connections and feel more connected to others.
• Improve your health and wellbeing.
• Get support from a range of female professionals including social workers, nurses, occupational therapists, support workers from Women's Aid, Shine and Health in Mind.
