New St Andrews depression and anxiety support group

Postby mhu on Sat Feb 04, 2012 5:24 pm

Hi Everyone

Thought you might like to know that there will be a local depression and anxiety support group forming in St Andrews very shortly.

It's been set up in conjunction with Action on Depression which is Scotland's national charity for depression.

The group will be organised by three people who have lived experience of depression / anxiety, and want to help others as a result of their own experiences.

I will post when we have the date, time and room confirmed, but you may also like to join our facebook page / follow us on twitter, where you will also get updates when available:
Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/St-Andrew ... l&filter=1
Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/StADASupport

If this is not something that is of benefit to you, I would love if you would still spread the word. So many people suffer with depression / anxiety, which are serious illnesses. Often they don't speak out among their friends due to the stigma involved, so you may not even know that they have it.

So please, if you can, spread the word, as it might just help someone you know.

Just let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks
Amanda x

UPDATE: We are pleased to announce the details of our first group meeting as follows.

Location: The Chapliancy Centre, Mansefield, 3A St Mary's Place, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9UY

Date: Monday 5th March 2012

Time: 6.45pm - 8.45pm

This is a self-help support group for depression and anxiety.

The self help support group is organised by people with personal experience of depression. Self-help support groups provide a setting in which people who share similar experiences come together to offer practical and emotional support in a reciprocal and mutually beneficial manner.

We hope you can attend. Please do spread the word :) Amanda, Melissa, Pamela
