Our Group

We have been running our group for over one year now and have had approximately forty people attend the group. People attend the group for a variety of reasons, some come just the once to get information on the symptoms, or simply to get advice. We have a core group of people, about eight, that attend regular meetings.

We have temporarily closed the group to give us change to relocate to our new building. It has also been a good opportunity to evaluate the group and reflect on what has gone well and what what could be done better.

I will no longer be the main facilitator of the group. Marie Chapman who was instumental in setting Pole to Pole up some years ago in Manchester, will be coming to Sheffield to faciliate our group. Marie will be bringing her knowledge of the WRAP programme (Wellness, Recovery and Prevention) to the group.

One of the key elements that our group members are clear about is that 'connecting' with others who have similar experiences is a good tool for recovery.

If you are interested in attending our group, please contact Kathryn on 01142795707 between 10am and 5pm otherwise leave a message with your contact details and I will call you back.
