The Standing Tall Foundation is delighted to announce the launch of ‘Standing Tall For All.’ The group meetings will take place at the STF Hub on Borough Rd and will be open to all who feel the need to talk. A male group and female group have been established to ensure comfort and confidence.

Andy Reid MBE said: ‘The Foundation is here to support the people of St Helens and this is further evidence, during Mental Health Awareness Week, of our commitment to do that. We have set up these new groups to provide help and support right where its needed, in the community.’

Each group will offer an open forum to discuss matters and employ proven methodology to deal with a range of dependency issues. The groups will also be supported with professional mental health counsellors who will also be available for one to one sessions should that be required.
