In early June Independent Living Support Dumfries, and We Are With You have been very proud to facilitate the launch of a support group called #BuildingHealthyFoundations – a group of like minded individuals who are there to support those with mental health challenges from lived trauma and/or those just in need to take a step forward in their lives, talk to people who have been in similar situations and can be there to support you. This group has been developed through the work of peer-to-peer facilitation by both organisations.
Independent Living Supports’ peer-to-peer facilitator has developed and facilitated groups since 2021 and works closely with Yvonne Wilson from We Are With You to ensure the continued success of this work for all.
Thank you to all the agencies that came along to the launch too, and who can refer clients to the group which will be held at NW Resource-Centre at Lincluden each Thursday 12-2pm.
Thank you to Rhys, Ellie, Mel and Hayden – just some of the support volunteers, and Lesley McWilliam – ILS, and Yvonne Wilson from We Are With You – Dumfries and Galloway.
If you would like more information get in contact with Lesley at IlS or Yvonne at We Are With You.
