AWARE NI

A very worthy charity which consistently promotes exciting events and new ways to raise money for people suffering with depression and anxiety.

A brilliant organisation providing advice and information on your mental health journey. Reminding you you're not alone in the journey.

AWARE is an integral part of the mental health support in Northern Ireland. I would not be here today withput them.

Excellent service for people with depression and related conditions. I still can't figure out why it is not used by more people. Secular sobriety programs have similar issues.

People are welcoming and make you feel at ease. You can talk or choose just to listen at the support groups. No pressure is put on anyone to open up. It's your choice.

Hi my name is Martin logue . I first started using this Support Group in 2014 . After one of my many discharges from Hospital . For me this was the first big Stepping Stone on my road to RECOVERY .. without a doubt this Support Group has turned my whole life around . There is something very powerful , and special about this group . From the very first night I walked through its doors , I was taken and looked after by one of the Aware lady volunteers , who was facilitating the group . She was so easy to open up and chat to , maybe because she was a Peer herself , and she had a really big understanding of Depression & Anxiety . I new that very first night , that I had found what I was looking for , HOPE , it was as if I was drowning , and someone threw this very big lifebelt to me !! An amazing feeling . So please anyone out there who is experiencing poor mental health , and cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel . Please please give this group a try , and I can promise you this , this to will be your first big stepping stone , on your road to Recovery , that is a promise . The only thing I find it hard to understand , is why there is not more people using this Support Group . I'm always Advocacing it on the hospital Wards , where I delivery Peer Advocacy each week . There are many of these AWARE GROUPS , in each town and City . Download the HERE2HELP app on your phone , and you will find all the information you will need , directions , phone numbers , and websites . Please at least try it once or twice . And you will feel a difference in your wellbeing . Its the first Big step , on your road to Recovery . What you put in , is what you get out !!!.. Martin. Dunmurry..

Totally rubbish service phoned them more than a dozen times nobody answers the bloody phone

Fantastic charity doing amazing work to support people with depression and reduce the stigma associated with mental ill health

Very poor these people do not answer their phones or reply to any emails sent to them for over 5 weeks now what is the point of having an organisation set up to support people with depression when they cant even be bothered to offer the help in the first place there funding need to be investigated as they are obviously getting paid but not doing the work !!

First class support with very professional, friendly and experienced staff. A great support and guidance service.
