Our Peer Support Group is meeting again this Friday, 10:30 - 11:30am in the back room of the Table cafe in Cathays. Unfortunately this will be the group's last meeting. Thank you to everyone who has supported the group.

Have you ever thought about reaching for support via our services....and stopped yourself? ⛔ 🙅

If so, we'd love to know why.....maybe you didn't think you were "bad enough", maybe you weren't sure who'd be supporting you...maybe you just weren't sure what to say or how to explain it....whatever the reason we'd be so grateful for the insight so that we can help overcome these obstacles and make it easier for people to reach out. If you felt able please do let us know in the comments (or DM us on instagram) - we'd be so very grateful.

A reminder of our services below...

We exist for you...for all parents...mums dads & all carers too. If you are worried about anyone in that position you can also contact us. You are NOT alone.

The phone line is open between 11am - 10pm. Please don’t hesitate to call

☎️ 0808 1961 776 ☎️

We know sometimes a helpline can feel daunting to call too...if that’s the case you can contact us via our WhatsApp or email service.

To use the WhatsApp service simply message 07903 508334 and you will be connected to one of our trained PANDAS volunteers.

It is free and confidential for users of this service and will be open from 8am – 10pm daily.

For our email service write to

Lots of love ❤️❤️
