IT'S A GOAL

BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!

Over 17 Years of Delivering Successful Support to Individuals Feeling Down, Depressed, Suicidal, Anxious or Struggling to Cope.

It's Good To Talk!

We know it's difficult, but take that first step with confidence, knowing that you'll be heard with sympathy and care. We are a mental health support group that works. Available in North Staffs, available to all.

What is "It's A Goal"?

Depression and suicide, especially amongst young men, is on the increase. Treatment for depression and other mental health problems can be very effective but the stigma associated with admitting you have a problem and accessing more traditional mental health services seems to present a major barrier to many people.

What Makes Us Different?

Our support group meetings are peer led, which means run by individuals who have suffered (or are still suffering) from exactly the same sort of anxieties as those attending for the first time.


It's a totally safe and informal mutual support group. Offering practical help in a non-judgemental environment. Our support doesn't end after a number of weeks, we encourage you to keep coming for as long as you want. The longer you stay the more help you will become to any newcomers!
