ThroughBlue

ThroughBlue is a support group for women with experience of depression

When do we meet? We meet every Friday 12:30 - 2:30pm, in Willis Street, Wellington. Please email join.throughblue@gmail.com for details and your email will be answered by a volunteer within a week to arrange your first meeting.
How much does it cost? The group is facilitated by two professional counsellors. We ask for a donation of $10 waged and $5 unwaged per meeting to cover food and go towards some of the venue hire costs.
Who can attend? Any woman in Wellington is welcome to attend our regular meetings - there is wide spectrum of experience of depression in the group - from very mild to more severe. Some people may have experienced depression in the past and come along to help manage relapses. It is a very diverse group and ranges in number from week to week - from 3 to 14 people. It is a friendly and non-threatening environment and most newcomers find it to be very welcoming and inclusive. ThroughBlue is not affiliated with any religious organisation or church. You are welcome to participate as much as you wish in terms of talking about your experience, or to sit and observe without having to say anything, depending on what suits you. There is a structure to the meetings, with a new topic each week.
Do you provide childcare? Pre-school childcare can be arranged. (please let us know in advance if you need this)
