DARE – A group for anyone experiencing depression and/or anxiety. DARE stands for Depression and Anxiety Recovery Experience.

The emphasis is very much on recovery by equipping those who attend with information on such things as effective diet/supplementation,

most effective therapies available and self-help interventions.

We hope that people attending the group will go away with the tools to vastly improve their mental health and general well being.

 

We meet on the last Thursday of every month.
