History
of
the Wallsend Self Help Group
The Wallsend Self
Help Group
was established as a non-profit making organisation by Terri Conley in
May 1984, to help those suffering with Anxiety,
Depression, OCD, and many other phobia and
stress related problems. Since the initial meeting, which attracted
over 50 people in response to a single advert in a local newspaper ,
many hundreds of ordinary individuals attended our informal volunteer
run meetings, seeking advice from
ourselves and support from fellow
sufferers with similar problems.
Their efforts in offering free
support and
advice were
recognised by many individuals and organisations, which included the
welcome patronship of His Grace The Duke of Northumberland.
The reassurance it offered to those
attending their meetings that they were not the first person to
experience the problems facing them, and that they were
not alone in attempting to overcome them, was often
enough to give them the strength to carry on. The advice and support
which the group has given since its inception has helped innumerable
sufferers to regain control of their lives.
