Tyneside Women’s Health Tyneside Women’s Health is a charity and was set up in 1985 to provide mental health support to women in a women-only environment. Our vision is a society that is free from mental health stigma, in which all women and girls feel included and empowered.

ManHealth ManHealth provide free peer support groups and a WebChat and Connect service across County Durham and Northumberland for men with depression and other mental health conditions. We know that the intense emotional pain you can experience when depressed can distort your thinking so it becomes harder to see possible solutions to problems, or to connect with those who can offer support. Suicide might seem like the only way to make the pain stop. We also know that peer support offered by someone who has a lived experience of mental ill health can help men.

Having good mental health helps us relax more, achieve more and enjoy our lives more. We have expert advice and practical tips to help you look after your mental health and wellbeing.

Our activities are aimed at marginalised, socially isolated or disenfranchised veterans. We use group activities to give our military veterans a sense of purpose, direction and a sense of belonging.
