Group Mental Health Meetings

During 2024, our highly regarded and well attended group meetings will be regular events which are free to the public. Many of these events will cover Warwickshire and our local communities including Kenilworth, Stratford Upon Avon, Leamington Spa, Rugby, Warwick and Solihull, but also across the UK

Our meetings are spaces where people can feel safe, unjudged and free to speak and/or listen as they choose about their experiences of poor mental health, suicidal ideation and attempted suicide. If you've been affected in anyway at all, please feel free to join us.

If you’re a local or national business who wishes to sponsor a meeting, please mail contact@sossilenceofsuicide.org
