Self help

Joining a self-help group can give you many benefits. However, not everyone finds talking in a group easy, so it might not be for you. It might help to go along to see what the group is like and then make a decision.

Self-help or support groups offer a chance to talk to other people who may be in a similar situation and facing the same challenges. Joining a group can be helpful if you live alone, or don't feel able to talk about your feelings with people around you. Search our database of organisations to find a group in your area: NHS inform - Support Services Directory.
