North Somerset Recovery Community Support Project by Broadway Lodge

Funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, the North Somerset Recovery Community Support Project by Broadway Lodge in Weston-super-Mare town centre, offers weekly wellbeing support groups to help participants strengthen their recovery, improve mental and emotional wellbeing, experience personal growth, connect with others and be empowered to lead healthy lives.

There are several sessions offered each week, listed below.

Tuesday Men’s Morning:

Male-Only Group Therapy, 10am – 12pm

This male-only group therapy session offers a welcoming, supportive space where men can open up and connect with each other. Men can sometimes face similar challenges and being in a same-sex group can make it easier to feel heard and understood. The groups may vary from time to time, for example, a walk and talk session or other ways in which men find connection easier.

Wellbeing Wednesdays:

Women-Only Session, 10am – 12pm

These women-only sessions offer a wonderful mix of social, wellbeing and educational activities focused on the 5 ways to wellbeing and differ each week. Sessions support participants to build confidence, improve self-esteem, connect with other women and practice self care.

Mixed-Gender Wellbeing Wednesday, 1.30pm – 3pm & 3pm – 4.30pm

Mixed-gender Wellbeing Wednesday afternoons provide a relaxing mid-week space to nurture mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Participants engage in auricular acupuncture with sound healing meditation. There are two separate afternoon groups which are 1 hour 30 minutes in duration.

Thursdays:

Mixed-Gender Group Therapy, 10.45pm – 12.15pm & 2pm – 3.30pm

On Thursdays, we hold two separate group therapy sessions which are mixed-gender and are led by a qualified and experienced counsellor. Participants are able to receive inspiration from others and support for challenges they may be going through.

There is a morning group and an afternoon group. Auricular Acupuncture is available in the morning session and additional support services and signposting may be offered to you.

In addition to group therapy, one to one support is available including:

• One to one counselling
• Support/signposting to access education and training courses
• Help with employment preparation including CV writing, job search, job applications and interview preparation
• Support/signposting to look for voluntary work, work experience or paid employment
