4th February 2012
St Albans Bipolar UK Self Help Group - We are proposing to set up a self help group for people in the St Albans UK area who are affected by bipolar. The group will meet at least once a month in a central location. The potential benefits of attending a self-help group meeting include:
• Finding people to talk to
• Obtaining practical advice
• Accessing useful information
• Hearing from invited speakers about topics of interest
• The chance to participate in social activities
The group will be open to anyone affected by bipolar; this includes partners, friends, family members and informal carers.
We know that many people find attending a group extremely helpful so if you are interested, do come along to an initial meeting on Wednesday 14th March 2012 at Fleetville Community Centre, Royal Road, St Albans AL1 4QL at 6:30 pm.
More information via Janet Conway Tel: 01270 230 260.
Hemel Hempstead Swing is a totally informal peer to peer self-help group run by people with bipolar / manic depression and the people who care for them, based on friendship and support for each other.
We like people to turn up regularly so that we can get to know each other, but we understand that it may not always be possible to attend every month. All are welcome, however frequently you come.
At each meeting, everyone is given a chance to express their feelings and talk about their needs. We are a small group, hoping to grow and would be pleased to meet you.
Don't worry about turning up on your own. We know what that feels like - one of our aims is to make friends and help people relax. All of our experiences and contributions are unique and valuable. The venue has easy free parking for disabled blue badge holders only and is near the bus station. The council car park is but a couple of hundred yards away and access is via Combe Street.
We meet on the 1st Saturday of the month from 10:00am 'til 11:30am at:
139 Leighton Buzzard Road, Hemel Hempstead, Dacorum, Hertfordshire HP1 1HN Map
Most people struggle to find the venue first time. 139 is located on a cul-de-sac service road amongst a small, relatively new group of houses set back from the Leighton Buzzard Road (on the East side) near the pedestrian crossing, behind a wall with black railings. Please use the white push button with black casing/surround (to ring the internal downstairs door bell where we can hear it) mounted to the left of the entrance door.
