CRAFT Maintenance sessions offer carers a supportive space to revisit the key tools from the CRAFT programme at their own pace, refresh skills in communication, self-care, and problem-solving, and share experiences with others. The group helps reinforce progress, celebrate successes, and strengthen what is already working for anyone who has completed the CRAFT programme with PROPS North East.
PROPS North East Grief Group offers a compassionate and supportive space for people affected by loss, giving them the opportunity to share experiences, connect with others, and feel understood. The group aims to reduce isolation, provide mutual support, and help members begin to navigate grief at their own pace.
PROPS North East Men’s Group provides a welcoming and informal space for men to connect, share experiences, and build positive relationships with others who understand similar challenges. It helps reduce isolation, encourages open conversation, and offers a strong sense of belonging and peer support, whether attending as part of a group activity or while accessing respite through PROPS North East.
Supportive Friends is a safe and welcoming social group for like-minded people, offering a space where members can share support, feel heard, and know they are not alone. It brings together people facing similar situations, creating understanding, a sense of belonging, and a strong community, with follow-on support from CRAFT helping to ensure everyone has a voice.
Tyne to Talk is a free, confidential support group for people aged 18–25 affected by drug or alcohol use. It offers a safe, non-judgemental space to talk, access advice, and connect with support alongside other young people facing similar challenges.
Our Wellbeing Group explores practical topics designed to help people feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to manage stress. Sessions may include mindful breathing, grounding techniques, self-care, sleep, gratitude, coping with anxiety, emotional regulation, relaxation, and learning how to notice unhelpful thoughts without judgement.
