We are looking for volunteers to help facilitate our weekly peer support meetings every Tuesday. Can you help?

We are a womens peer support group, supporting mental health and wellbeing.

We meet on a Tuesday Forfar Farmington Football Club in Forfar.

6.30pm to 8.30pm

Training and support will be given.

Contact us for further information [email protected]

If we just cheered each other on instead of tearing each other down, the world might be a little bit better!

What is peer support?

For us, it's a chance to bring people together to give and receive mutual support in a peer group setting.

Our aim is to bring people together who can share their experience of mental health, emotions, and life.

It’s your chance to talk and an opportunity to learn about how others in similar situations manage their symptoms or experiences and connect with people who know what it’s like to feel the way you do.

We meet every Tuesday

Time: 6.30pm
Address: Forfar Farmington Football Club, Forfar DD8 3LD

We also meet online if you can't make it to an in-person group.

Contact us for details or the link to join [email protected]

Never let anyone treat you like a yellow starburst.
You are a pink starburst⭐️💖💛

Whatever colour is you're favourite, remember you are loved, beautiful worthy and equally delicious!

We don't have to have 'it' together all the time.
We don't have to feel in control of everything.
We don't have to be able to cope.

It's ok to need help, to ask for support and to let others carry some of the load.
Our groups are a place you can come and say "I'm not ok", and we will listen, support and care for you .

We meet tonight at Forfar Farmington Football Club, Forfar DD8 3LD, doors will open at 6.15pm and group starts 6.30pm.

If you can't make in person why not try online? Email [email protected] for the link.

The hugely popular Scottish Transport Extravaganza will take place in the grounds of Glamis Castle this weekend, 13 and 14 July.

Regarded as the premier vintage motoring spectacular in Scotland, this event is one of the largest of its kind in Britain and will bring together over 1700 vehicles representing a wide array of transport comprising veteran, vintage and classic vehicles and machinery and offering a variety of parades, pipe bands and amusements as well as a craft village.

Come along and enjoy a great family day out. Parking is free, and dogs on leads are welcome. Find out more - https://www.svvc.co.uk/extravaganza/.

💙 KIDS EAT FOR £1 💙

All through the summer holidays kids can eat for just £1 with a full paying adults meal. Kids must be 12 or under.

A walk around the loch and some breakfast lunch makes a great wee day out. 🌞

Feel free to share or comment and let your friends know. Hopefully helps some families save some pennies during the holidays but still have something to do with the kids.

Womens wellbeing groups have no wait list, no long referral form or list of requirements to join.

We simply offer a safe space, a listening ear and a cuppa.

Are you on the road to burnout?

You may be on the road to burnout if:

Every day is a bad day.

Caring about your work or home life seems like a total waste of energy.

You’re exhausted all the time.

The majority of your day is spent on tasks you find either mind-numbingly dull or overwhelming.

You feel like nothing you do makes a difference or is appreciated.

How to deal with burnout- 3 R Approach

Recognize. Watch for the warning signs of burnout.

Reverse. Undo the damage by seeking support and managing stress.

Resilience. Build your resilience to stress by taking care of your physical and emotional health.

Our meetings can offer safe, confidential spaces for women to give and receive peer-led support.

Why not try peer-to-peer support?
