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.

What we do

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.
  • Try new leisure activities.
  • Spend time to focus on you.
