Description

We have facilitated peer support groups since 2014 and their success supporting individuals can be seen by the replication of groups from just Canterbury in 2014 to now the whole of East Kent. Welcoming anyone aged 16+, we support individuals with mental health problems to improve their wellbeing and help them live happier and healthier lives. No diagnosis is needed as a lot of our group conversations are based on prevention as well as managing mental health. Most of our services take the form of self-help groups, which are either “talking” or “doing” focused. Our groups run at various times of the day and at weekends to accommodate many people's lives. Check out our calendars on our website on each area page (Canterbury & Coastal, Thanet, Folkestone, Dover) for group days and times. We also have a number of online groups running on Zoom. Some examples of groups include but not limited to: Managing Depression, Peer Support Crisis Group (Sunday evening), IT Group, Creative Group and more. We are also the User Voice for Ashford, Canterbury & Coastal, Folkestone and Dover where individuals or groups can talk to us directly, stay anonymous, and give feedback about their experiences using services. "Whether you've used one organisation or a few, just sussing out support or used services / voluntary organisations for a while, let us know how it's been. Your experience will help decision makers to understand what works, what doesn’t and what could be improved. We want to hear your experiences and use them to help shape services and improve them for others". We aim to get in contact with new referrals within 2 business days.

Mental Health and Wellbeing Advice & Support, Family Services, Domestic Abuse Advice & Support

Description

We aim to support dads to help them improve their co-parenting relationships after parental separation, and seek help for their mental health across England & Wales. The issues we support are suicidal ideation/self-harm, anxiety, depression, domestic abuse, loneliness and isolation. We provide wrap-around support on all of these issues, and focus on making sure the voice of the child is at the heart of the family breakdown process. We work hard to reduce male suicide; help male victims of domestic abuse, and reduce parental conflict / improve co-parenting. PLEASE NOTE ASSISTANCE CRITERIA: As an organisation that promotes the values of equality, diversity, dignity and respect we, will not unintentionally assist anyone with a DVPO, conviction, caution, reprimand, or any warnings; spent or otherwise, for assault, harassment, and/or abuse. We do not unintentionally assist perpetrators. If you are hurting someone, and you want help in stopping, please contact Respect on 0808 802 4040 or visit their website http://respect.uk.net/ We can assist if you have only allegations against you. However, should you be found to be guilty, or have facts found against you, then again, unfortunately, we will not be able to assist you any further. As we work with numerous partner organisations, should the information be identified that you have been found guilty of perpetrating domestic abuse; we will formally cease support in writing, and we will, in appropriate circumstances, signpost you to other services that might be able to support your needs. We take this stance in order to protect all of the people we are trying to help and their families. We also take the strong view that no matter how difficult or frustrating your challenge; the right, if not only, way to solve your situation is always through constructive and intelligent dialogue. We appreciate your understanding in advance of your cooperation on this matter. We reserve the right to withdraw our service(s) when we believe that support would not further the interests of the children or other adults. Our mentoring agreement is attached below.
