Dorchester Peer Support Group
The Dorchester Peer Support Group is held on a Friday 10am to 11.30am in The Gallery beneath the Dorset Mental Health Forum offices in Durngate Street.
It is an informal gathering where you will find a warm welcome and support from people with an intimate knowledge and understanding of issues relating to mental health. There is free tea and coffee available and if you're really lucky, who knows, maybe some biscuits or a bun!
No referral is required so please feel free to drop in. If you would like further information however, please telephone the Forum on 01305 257172 or email Peer Support.
Many thanks.
