THRU Peer Support

“I feel like I fit in somewhere for the first time”

What is THRU?

The THRU Peer Support project (Talk, Help, Relate, Understand), led by Leeds Mind, offers peer support group work for young people aged between 14 and 25 for 6 months and up to a year.Before joining the group, you will need to attend a short group introduction session that will usually run on a weekday afternoon in Leeds City Center with a THRU worker and other prospective group members.

It’s a space to meet with other young people to share how you’re feeling and to develop new ways of managing your mental health. Together we work on things like managing stress, confidence building and self esteem.

The group gives you an opportunity to:

• Meet others and have fun with those who have similar experiences
• Share your experiences in a safe and supportive space
• Develop skills to help manage your mental health and well-being
• Be supported by facilitators and volunteers who have experienced mental health difficulties

Where and when does THRU take place?

Our THRU Groups currently meet every Monday and Thursday evening, 4:30pm- 6:30pm, at The Market Place in Leeds City Centre. Please note that during COVID lockdown the weekly sessions are taking place online.
