Information
We are a self help group: What is a Self Help Group?
A self help group is made up of people who have personal experience of the same problem or
life situation. Self help groups should not be viewed as therapy but as a place where you can receive encouragement, reassurance, support and a "listening ear".

How can they help?
Meeting with others can help reduce the terrible feeling of isolation which a lot of women experience when suffering from depression.

It can provide a supportive informal environment where people can share their fears, worries
and ways of coping with their depression. You will hear how each person's experience is different but will also see that there is a common thread running through each other's feelings and symptoms. This will allow you to support others as well as getting support for yourself.

Coping with depression can be a long and difficult process but at least you'll know you are NOT alone?
