Chemsafe: Monthly group
Last Wednesday of the month 6pm-8pm, hybrid
This group is a monthly space available both in person and online
Each session will have a different topic and we will look at sharing helpful information and discussion and support around these topics.
We will cover topics such as; consent, sober sex, harm reduction, online safety and other topics that are identified as relevant.
As with all our groups there will be an element of peer support, here specifically for people who have been or are currently being affected by crystal meth/GBL and other substances relating to chemsex. This group consists of friendly and non-judgmental people who are there to give each other peer-led advice and share experiences to help overcome substance misuse, chemsex triggers and empower each other to reach individual goals whether that be sober sex or a harm reduction route, your journey is yours to make!
