16 - 25s Support Group
Do you feel pressure from your work, education or friends?
Do you feel like you don’t fit in?
Do you want to meet young people like yourself in a safe and supportive environment where you can talk about what’s bothering you?
Our 16 -25s Support Group meets twice a week:
Mondays: Online via Zoom
6.30pm – 7.30pm
Thursdays: In-person at the Wellbeing Centre, South Crescent, Llandrindod Wells
6:30pm – 8:30pm
It is a flexible group so there is no need to commit yourself to anything, if you need some help or just to chat come along! We will be running different activities each week.

Why did I say yes?
What if they don’t like me?
Treat me like the people who bullied me.
My hands are shaking, knees quaking
Then the tears start.
A thousand worries at once
This is all too much.
Brainless, I press the zoom link
Numb in mind, body and soul.
Only to be greeted with smiles
Two ladies who look after me,
People who treat me normally
We talk about techniques
Play games,
Hangman, pub quizzes, debates
Learning positivity.
The more I go, more my smile grows
Every week I now see friends, for a day feel my age
No longer a tear to roll down my face.
