Paisley Walk

In-person · Paisley

Hi, m y name is Barry and I am 44 years old and I am the Walk Leader for the Paisley Walk For the last 13 years I have had my issues leading to mental health problems. I’m twice divorced which really started it all for me and losing my dog of nearly 14 years and 2 close family members in the last 2 years has brought its struggles. I grew up loving football, watching and playing whenever I could. This was my happy place. But I found myself unable to get out the house to go a play amateur or even 5 a sides with friends. I was hugely frustrated at the gym. Getting out a walk by myself or with a friend or two really helped me take a breath and take a look at what was going on for me. I was lucky enough to work on a project that encouraged getting out into the outdoors to help build relationships within families, confidence and skill levels in children young people and adults and improving the mental health and wellbeing. Glencoe is my happy place but just a wander locally works a treat for me too. I made the move to start this group in Paisley because I believe it could work for so many men here. The west side of Scotland, men are notorious for keeping it in and just getting on with it. My aim is to build a safe community for men to come along and have a general chat, or get some things off their chest or just come along for the walk and get outside for a bit. Look forward to bide oot with you.

Pamela, Group Facilitator Venue – Chryston Parish Church Meets weekly, every Saturday, 12:30pm – 2:30pm Group facilitator: Pamela Everyone welcome! What inspired you to start your group? I was inspired to start this group after seeing how many parents struggle with perinatal mental health concerns in silence, often feeling they have nowhere they truly belong. I understand the importance of having a space where people have shared experiences, as this helps people us not feel alone and that all feelings are valid. Traditional groups can feel isolating when you can’t relate to others so I want to create an environment that creates connection and somewhere people feel they can be honest about their struggles and know that they will be shown empathy and non-judgemental support to work through them. What does the building look like? How will I know I’m in the right place? The building where the group will be held in an add on to a lovely church. They have built these additional rooms to be used as a hub for many community groups. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The church name is clearly marked on the outside of the building. Is there parking or public transport nearby? There is car parking on the grounds of the church and there is also a bus stop nearby Any doors, buttons, or steps I should know about? Entry is via large glass doors in the extension part of the church. There is level access via these doors. I’m feeling a bit nervous and am still not sure if this is for me – We understand this feeling, it is common to feel nervous about going new places, but our goal is to make people feel comfortable and that we are accessible for everyone. If you feel you would benefit from a chat with the group leader beforehand then please send an email with your contact number to lanarkshirepandas@outlook.com and Pamela will give you a call to discuss any concerns and we will work out a way to make come along to the group feel easier for you.

PANDAS Colchester

In-person · Colchester

Venue New location from 15th July! Meets the second Wednesday of every month, 9am-10am What inspired you to start your group? Having had my own experience with perinatal mental health, I want to be able to use that to help others, and who just need somewhere to come and talk without judgement or stigma. What does the building look like? How will I know I’m in the right place? It is clearly marked, and has large, glass double doors at the entrance. Is there parking or public transport near by? The nearest car parks are Vineyard Street (approx. 200m away), Osborne Street, and the High Street car park. You can also reach it via any bus which goes to the High Street. Any doors, buzzers or steps/ramps I should know about? The doors are automatic and the entrance is completely accessible. I feel a bit nervous and am still not sure if this is for me – Give it a go; there’s no obligation to stay if you change your mind! I know how hard it can be getting yourself and a little one out the door so it’s a huge step just to get that far! Any other information – There is a free baby & toddler rhyme time group in the space straight afterwards, which you are welcome to stay for.
