Peer support groups
All of our peer support groups provide a safe, supportive, and kind space for people with similar experiences to build a community of support.
Many clients attend our groups alongside their course of therapy or counselling at Sue Lambert Trust, while others choose to join a group once their counselling sessions have drawn to a close.
By attending group sessions, people are empowered to build resilience, rediscover confidence and find a release through art, craft, writing, music and many other activities, providing a way to express and process past events.
Many of these group sessions are led by clients we have supported.
Regular group sessions also provide an opportunity to meet up and talk in a safe, supportive space.
