Opportunities with PeerTalk Charity

About

PeerTalk is a national charity that provides weekly volunteer facilitated peer support groups for people living with depression, anxiety and other emotional distress.

PeerTalk offers a forum for sharing and listening, providing encouragement and, more importantly, hope to attendees. As a result of practical suggestions on coping with depression offered by other participants, individual attendees report improvements in several areas, including well-being, self-esteem, and the ability to manage depression on a day-to-day basis.
Since 2017 PeerTalk has established eighteen support groups. Volunteers facilitate the support groups on between 3-5 weeks a quarter, and to attend regular volunteer facilitators meetings.
Our Southern groups meet in Farnham, Guildford (Surrey) and Bordon (East Hampshire). With a future group planned to open in Alton (East Hampshire) very soon.
All these groups are in response to a local request, and all the groups are supported by locally recruited volunteers, many of whom have lived experience of their own of depression or have family and friends affected by it.
