Our aim is to resume face to face groups and as well as continuing to offer online groups . You can attend Croydon SUN groups as often as you wish. SUN groups offer peer support. Members both offer and receive support. Two mental health professionals facilitate the group. All of the support provided by Croydon SUN Project happens within the groups themselves, in a confidential and safe space. New members are helped to complete a Crisis and Support Plan (CASP) in their first group. A CASP sets out the steps you take to cope with stress and any challenges in life, so that the group knows how best to support you in times of crisis.
