Join us at OATS, a peer-led support group designed for adults (18+) who experience overwhelming distress, fear, emotional intensity, or suicidal thoughts. We provide a safe, therapeutic space where members support each other using trauma-informed approaches.

👋 Who We Are:
OATS is an open-access group—anyone can become a member, and you’re free to attend as often as you like. There’s no need for a professional referral; simply register yourself to join. We are a peer-led community, meaning that everyone takes an active role in both giving and receiving support.

🧠 What to Expect:

• Therapeutic Environment: Facilitated by staff and volunteers trained in trauma-informed approaches.
• Specialist Support: A joint initiative between Kingfisher Treasure Seekers and the Complex Emotional Needs Service within Gloucestershire Health & Care.
• Peer-Led Decision Making: While facilitators provide guidance, the group makes decisions together, ensuring it meets the needs of its members.
