MESS (Mutual Ex Service Support) Group Buxton

Are you member of the Ex Armed Forces Services? Join us for a brew and banter with like-minded people.

The first hour is where STAND TO will offer help, support and advice to individuals who want to change how they feel about Alcohol. The sessions are conducted in a relaxed and informal manner.

The second hour is for any veteran who want to come and chat and meet up, very relaxed and open to new members.

MESS groups will be held on a weekly basis throughout the month at a different venue each week throughout the county approx. 2hrs in duration for each session. These MESS groups could include guest speakers, activities and were deemed appropriate for some relapse prevention work.

This could be a group large group of Veterans or a smaller group depending on levels of confidence and need for the area.  There will be a group to fit all needs, please speak to your keyworker for what is available in your area.

Alongside the MESS groups there will be a calendar timetable of various other activities of one a month as a minimum which will be planned which could last between one half or full day event. We will remain flexible to the needs and interests of individuals attending. The activities will on occasion take place in collaboration with other recovery support partners planned events to help promote wellbeing and potentially decrease isolation.
