Take Space Online 28/8/25

Group Support: Take Space Online – Self-Harm Peer Support Group

Take Space Online is our self-harm peer support group, held on Zoom on Thursday evenings. This group is designed for people affected by self-harm as well as their friends, family and loved ones.

The group's aim is help you feel less alone, reduce stigma, and open conversations around self-harm. We are hosting this group online meaning we can support you wherever you are in the UK.

The group is facilitated and open to individuals aged 18+.

Group Details

🕒 Time: 6PM-7.30PM

📍 Location: A Zoom link will be shared with you ahead of the session

During the session

We will usually start the session with introductions and a brief check-in to hear how you’re doing and to get a better idea of the support you might be looking to gain from the group.

Each session will have a focus topic that everyone will have the chance to vote on, and this will be what we’ll spend most of our time talking about. We’re expecting this may lead us into other conversations, so there’s freedom to explore.

There will also be time nearer the end to see if any resources may be useful to share.

We’ll end the group with a check out activity - a quick question to see how you’re feeling before logging off.

Logistics

Where possible, we ask that you keep camera on. We know this may not be possible for everyone so we haven’t made this a requirement, however, we want this space to foster vulnerable conversations and being able to see who you’re talking to can help with this. It would also be great if you could add your name (this doesn't have to be your real name) and pronouns as a name tag when joining.

Tickets & Booking

This group is free to attend, but spaces are limited to 14 participants, so booking a ticket is required.

🔹 If you can no longer attend, please cancel your ticket so someone else can take your place.

🔹 If you experience any barriers to booking, email us at groups@selfinjurysupport.org.uk for support.

🔹 If you’re coming along with someone on the same device, please still book individual tickets so that we can keep track of numbers. You’re also very welcome to attend on your own.

Important: During the booking process, you'll need to provide an email address to receive your ticket. We will only use this information to contact you about your booking (e.g., cancellations or session updates). We are committed to keeping this group as anonymous as possible, but some logistical elements are unavoidable.

Accessibility

We want to ensure Take Space Online is as accessible as possible, but we understand that accessibility needs vary.

🔹 If you have any specific requirements or barriers to attending, please let us know—we will do our best to accommodate you.

🔹 If we can’t meet your needs right now, we will work on ways to adapt the group for future sessions.
