TALA provides peer support through befriending and group activities.
TALA will provide support with:
Befriending Groups

- The facilitator will host 1 x 2-hour groups weekly (max. 12 beneficiaries)
- NWCH Safeguarding Lead will be on-site during group sessions.
Mindfulness for mental health
- 1 hour per week mindfulness session online facilitated by an NWCH mindfulness practitioner, immediately after each NWCH meet-up group.
Online TALA Forum
- TALA closed group on Facebook where there will be discussions and to promote TALA meet-ups outside of those hosted by NWCH, plus encourage members to share self-help and coping strategies.
- The TALA forum will be open to members during and after the project.
