At Not A Statistic North East(NAS-NE), we understand how difficult it is for people going through life's ups and downs to find a space where they can build connections with others who understand what they’re experiencing.
Not A Statistic-NE was created to help individuals find a safe space to access peer to peer support with a free tea or coffee, biscuits and some laughs along the way. See the Sessions page for more details.
At present we are starting with a fortnightly group session in Sunderland. We hope to build a good foundation group to Increase sessions to weekly. With plans of starting group sessions in Washington, Houghton and Durham.
The aim of each session is to provide a safe space for conversation and to allow people to a discuss their week. Along with facilitator led signposting to local/national resources which may be helpful to attendees.

"I have struggled with my own mental health for the whole of my adult life and genuinely believe peer to peer support saved my life. when I was going through my darkest times, I was lucky to find groups during the day, however i found once i returned to work, Evening groups were not as easy to come by. This is why i started Not a Statistic - Northeast"
