Mental Health Support Group

The mixed weekly drop-in runs on a Thursday in New Cross between 2.00pm-4.00pm

It offers those who identify as LGBTQIA+ and are experiencing a mental health issue a space to socialise with others in a comfortable, non-judgemental, relaxed atmosphere.

If you feel like you need a confidential chat, staff are available for a one to one session in one of the counselling rooms.

If you would like to find out more about the Mental Health and Well-being Drop in group, please fill in the form below and one of the mental health team will contact you.
