Friends of Quinton Mental Health Support Group
We are a community mental health support group open to all Quinton residents. We are supported by Birmingham City Council and have a dedicated link worker from Social Services who helps with issues around benefits, access and assessments. We were established in 2019 and initially met every other Tuesday evening at the local Quinborne Community Centre; although we initially moved online as the Centre closed in compliance with the then COVID recommendations, the group have decided to remain online for the forseeable future. Meeting via Zoom, every Monday between 6 - 7 pm (see below). The group is led by Stephen Dodd, a local resident, with support from Patrick Saunders, a public health doctor. We create a friendly, non-judgmental and engaging atmosphere where clients can share as much, or as little as, they feel comfortable with. All discussions are in complete confidence. Residents can contact Stephen to join and will be able to drop in on the evening when we return meeting face to face.
