DAISY SUPPORT GROUPS
CONNECTION AND UNDERSTANDING
SUPPORT GROUPS
We offer various support groups and classes enabling clients to create community connections and build their support networks. Our groups are run by ex-service users who provide peer support and are positive role models for people beginning their journeys to recovery.
The Daisy Programme support groups offer a safe and caring place for people to help each other to face worries and concerns whilst also sharing future hopes and dreams. The groups are a chance for clients to try something new, perhaps by expressing their emotions through art & craft, exploring patterns of thinking and behaviour through creative writing or lifting a low mood by walking together outdoors.
From time to time, we also offer one off events such as yoga for health, mindfulness, drumming and sound gong baths.
​Creative Writing
"The ability to connect with people who share their desire to explore themselves and their worlds through therapeutic means is my life's work. It means the world to me. I found the writing uncovered different aspects of myself to me. I felt comfortable to share with the group. This feels so important in aiding my healing process to improved well-being as I emerge from major life changes. I felt honoured and enlivened to hear what others were happy to share too. I felt the delivery of the course inclusive and supportive which aids in encouraging me out of my shell. I found the increased understanding of myself through the writing increased healthy life changes. Very grateful to have had the opportunity to complete it".
A Poem
When I was at my lowest, you took me by the hand
Showed me I was not alone, that others understand
The fights, the battles, the sad times too, you gave a helping hand
Gave us someone to rely on, someone who understands
You raised us up and taught us well, without you I’d be lost
All done from the kindness of your heart, your guidance had no cost
So thank you for shaping me into the woman I am today
For helping me recover, to carry on with each day
I’ve found my tribe all thanks to you, they help in days of strife
All thanks to you I have true friends who will be with me for life
So thanks again for all the wonderful things you do
Keep on striving for the best and always being you.
