Peer Talk
We have a new group in Thornaby which meets weekly every Wednesday evening at Thornaby Methodist Church.(TS17 9DZ)
We support people (over 18) going through feelings of depression and anxiety.
We currently need both volunteer facilitators and peers to attend.
"People start to heal the moment they feel heard"...
