Active In Mind provides a safe and friendly group where participants can socialise with peers whilst participating in arts and crafts, games such as scrabble and UNO and physical activity with table tennis and pool. The group welcomes people with mental health challenges who are looking to try new activities and build connections with others.
A Peer Support Group Volunteer will ensure the successful delivery of the new Peer Support Active In Mind Group service and assist with the administration and development of the service where relevant.
Peer support groups will aim to connect people with shared mental health lived experience or like-minded interests, while providing mutual support. The volunteer role will involve facilitating activities and peer support between group members. You will be empowering group participants to promote and support mental health recovery for themselves and others. We believe that through sharing our experiences, we can support each other to identify our strengths, gain insight into our mental health difficulties, and develop effective coping strategies.
