Facing Depression Together

PeerTalk: a national charity

PeerTalk 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. This informs what we measure our effectiveness against and how we do it. As a result of practical suggestions on coping with depression offered by other participants, individual attendees report improvements in several areas, including well-being, (in particular, self-esteem), and the ability to manage depression on a day to day basis.
