Support groups

[jhb_c]

does anyone know if there's any sort of support network that do more casual things like coffee mornings or walks in the park? I'm all up for group therapy and support sessions and am looking into these, but I'd love to find a more relaxed, more natural setting in a coffee shop or something where I can meet and chat with people who get what's in my crazy head!

any ideas I'd be very grateful!

Where are you based? x

I'd love to know this too. I've thought about counselling but would rather speak with someone who's been through this rough journey. I'm in Leeds xx

[jhb_c in reply to louisear]

yeah, I'm up for counselling for coping strategies and stuff but sometimes I think it would be nice to just laugh and cry and say whatever with a nice big coffee and cake!

My acupuncturist in Leeds does a group coffee morning if u would like to go? I’ve not been myself, but it’s usually on a weekend xx

[louisear in reply to penny24]

Hey jhb_c

I read all these comments on here & find it really supportive. I'm also in bedford & have also tried looking for groups, with no luck!!

Reckon we could start one? x

[jhb_c in reply to Rachy239]

this is amazing! 😁 I'd happily meet up for a coffee if your up for it? Then hopefully we can build from there!x

Being new to this site, I haven’t seen any meet up groups here, but I think there is a support network meet up group on the fertility uk website. Worth a look, but I couldn’t see anything for my local area (Buckinghamshire). Xx

I've googled before and most of the nice meet ups seem to be in big cities not places like Bedford, I can't believe there aren't men and women in my own town who aren't in need of something similar! It's so hard to find anything (or anyone) in my area x
