\n

The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) will be launching their Face-to-Face Support Group for Depression and Anxiety on June 1, in Somerset East. <\/p>\n

The idea for a depression and anxiety support group was sparked by support group leader, Gail Dore who noticed the community\u2019s need for mental health support.   <\/p>\n

\n
\n

As Somerset East and the surrounding towns have very limited access to mental health care services, Dore said it makes it difficult for residents to find the help they need.   <\/p>\n

\n
\n

For this reason, she aimed to create a safe place of compassion and understanding that is free and accessible to all in the area. <\/p>\n

\u201cAttending regular support groups is a wonderful way for individuals to come together and offer encouragement to each other on their mental health journey,\u201d said Dore. <\/p>\n

The Face-to-Face Support Group for Depression and Anxiety will take place from 18:30 to 19:30 on the first and third Thursday of every month at the Summer Serenity Medical Center, 6 End Street, Somerset East.<\/p>\n

For more information contact Gail Dore 042 243 0180 (10:00 to 18:00) or WhatsApp her on 083 947 9487.  <\/p>\n

For more information about other support groups available visit www.sadag.org<\/a> or call 0800 21 22 23. <\/p>\n

To speak to a counsellor, send an SMS to 31393.  <\/p>\n
