RECOVERY & SUPPORT
RECOVERY & SUPPORT
Embedded Files
Our Recovery & Support workstream brings young people together through their communities of shared interest, creating a safe space outside clinical boundaries for young people to discover mental health recovery tools through various peer-led group activities, reducing isolation in young people of Dundee. The Recovery & Support workstream is based around our value of Empathy, finding out what our young people need from us to heal and supporting them on their recovery journey.
We run weekly activities including the Drop-In Cafe, Art Nights, Stitch 'n' B*tch, Peer Coaching and Listening and other limited run projects with organisations across Dundee. If you are a charity or organisation and are interested in collaborating on a project, please get in touch with contact@feelingstrong.co.uk. We would love to work together!
WHITFIELD EXPANSION
WHITFIELD EXPANSION
In September 2024, we were given the opportunity to expand our services across the city and have since grown a base in Whitfield. We were able to temporarily take our services to the Newfield Medical Centre for a place-based approach, reaching communities we might not have before. We now run weekly 1-1 Peer Coaching and Listening sessions from the Roundhouse Community Kitchen, alongside limited run projects for young people in the Whitfield area.

HOW TO REFER
HOW TO REFER
You can refer a young person to our services by filling out our referral form. Referrals can be made by staff, parents/guardians/carers, family members, friends, GPs, schools, other organisations, Job Centres etc. If you are 18+ you can also self refer.
Once referred, we will get in touch with a welcome email telling you all about our current services, and how to book into 1-1 peer coaching and listening sessions. We are happy to give you a tour of the space before you commit to coming along to sessions also. There is no pressure to come to sessions, so come along as often or as little as you'd like, or when you feel you'd like the support!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with contact@feelingstrong.co.uk.
