A regular Rethink Mental Illness group will be starting up again in Wilmslow, beginning on the 21 st February, followed by meetings on the first Thursday of each month from 7 th March. Rethink Mental Illness supports over 130 local peer support groups in England which are run by people with their own experience of mental health issues and/or their carers and family members. The groups provide empathy, acceptance and reassurance and are a place where people can share experience and receive guidance from peers in similar situations. The groups also provide an opportunity for information and for members to increase their self-confidence. Anyone who has personal experiences of mental illness can attend the group. Meetings are at Wilmslow Library, South Drive, SK9 1NW. For more details contact Matthew Hyndman, tel 07767163381 or email matthew.hyndman@rethink.org
We are a volunteer run support group for anyone in Manchester who is affected by severe mental illness, whether as a carer or service user. We are affiliated to the national charity Rethink Mental Illness.
