Peer Support Groups

The Cellar Trust provides welcoming and supportive Peer Support Groups where people with a range of different lived experiences come together to help and support each other.

Peer support involves people using their own life experiences to share understanding, hope and improved wellbeing with others. It’s about sharing knowledge, experience and practical help with each other, to improve emotional and mental health, while creating a sense of belonging. In a confidential, non-clinical setting, you can discuss your concerns at your own pace in an environment of mutual respect between peers and coordinators.

Such is our recognition in Peer Support, we have received various awards for our approach including National Positive Practice in Mental Health Awards 2022 – Peer Support Services.

  • We provide in-house Peer Support Groups to help support our clients
  • Specialists in delivering Staff Peer Support Groups to improve wellbeing
  • Groups can cover a range of mental health or practical issues
  • Can be carried out face-to-face or remotely

We can provide a variety of options for Peer Support Groups, from those arranged with a planned structure in mind to those that have more of a fluid feel. Regardless of the specific format, all of our Groups provide a unique level of support and understanding based on the core principles of Peer Support.

Within our Peer Support Groups, we aim to:

  • Provide a safe space to check-in about your own wellbeing
  • Hold a confidential space to talk about a range of topics
  • Promote self-care, growth and resilience
  • Discuss, expand and improve our coping strategies
