The group will run on the third Tuesday of each month, 7pm – 8:30pm Group facilitator: Abi What inspired you to start your group? I wanted to start a Pandas support group because I really care about talking honestly with parents about mental health after having a baby. The postpartum period can be such a vulnerable time, especially for mothers, and from my own experience I know how important support and a sense of community can be. When I was navigating my own birth trauma, having people who understood made a huge difference, and thats felt even more important since returning to work. I wanted to create a space where parents feel less alone, can talk openly and know they are supported. What does the building look like? How will I know I’m in the right place? The buillding stands on it’s own and has a large glass front plus it’s own car park. There is a reception area with staff who can direct you to the meeting room. Is there parking or public transport nearby? Yes it has it’s own large car park. Any doors, buzzers, or steps/ramps I should know about? You enter through double glass doors to enter the building and the reception is directly in front. The meeting room is left to the reception desk through the passageway. I feel a bit nervous and am still not sure if this is for me – This is a well used space for parents and carers, and it’s generally a very easy, welcoming place to be. If walking into somewhere new feels a bit much, there will always be someone at reception so please ask them to guide you to the meeting room if you are unsure. The group facilitator will be wearing a PANDAS t shirt, so do just come over and say hello when you arrive.

Gateshead Walk

Hi, I’m Anthony. I’m 41, a husband and a dad, and I live and work in the North-East. By trade, I work in Learning & Development and I’m also a coach. But more importantly, I’m someone who’s seen first-hand how valuable it can be for men to have space to talk openly without pressure, judgement, or an agenda. Over the years I’ve navigated a few significant life challenges of my own, which have reinforced how important connection, perspective, and simply being able to speak honestly can be. This is especially the case for men who are used to getting their head down and thinking they should just battle on. I’m starting this Men Walking and Talking group because there isn’t currently one based centrally in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and I really believe there’s value in creating something local and accessible. These walks aren’t about fixing problems or giving advice. They’re about getting outside, walking side by side, and creating a relaxed space where conversation can happen naturally, or where silence is just as welcome. I’ll be there to facilitate the walk, help create a welcoming atmosphere, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. Nothing more complicated than that.
