Find support

Two routes: a recovery meeting (AA, NA, SMART and similar) or a support group (peer-led, no fellowship affiliation). Both are listed below. Both are free. Most welcome you turning up without booking. If you need to speak with someone immediately, the crisis numbers are further down.

About this page

Mens Network lists groups and meetings — it does not provide support itself. The numbers above are independent organisations. If you call them, we do not see it.

Recovery meetings and support groups listed on the platform are peer-led, not clinical. If you need a therapist or a psychiatrist, your GP is the route. The numbers above stay open while you wait for that.
