Support groups
By hearing how things are for others, and sharing how things are for you, the support and understanding can be very beneficial.
Isolation can be reduced because the support group gives you the opportunity to meet with others who understand what you are going through in a confidential setting.

- First Tuesday (Alcohol) Group: 7 -0 8.30pm
