We are building an incredible community, and even some people say a family. We have been building something special and changing people's lives for the better, and everyone is a part of that, so thank you. Hopefully, you will join this group to improve your wellbeing and health.
My goal is to create a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. I hope to inspire and empower our members to lead healthier and happier lives.
So, if you're ready to join a community that values kindness, mental health, and wellbeing while having some fun, then the New Forest Wellbeing Group is the perfect group for you.
Youth Wellbeing Group
Looking to improve your life and wellbeing, and maybe have some fun along the way? Are you looking to hang out with some like-minded people? Trying to figure out how to be happier or deal with negative thoughts? Feel like you do not belong?
I believe I can help you find happiness and hopefully understand yourself more, especially in this crazy world we live in when we can feel hopeless.
This group is for people between the ages of 18 and 25 years old. Collectively, my own life experiences, the great outdoors, amazing venues, 6-week practical courses, and peer-to-peer support from young people like you who have had challenges can demonstrate how they are starting to deal with them.
