When life feels heavy, finding the right help can mean searching in a dozen different places. This part of inLouth brings the local groups, drop-ins and services together, so you can see what's on offer in and around Louth and pick what feels right for you.
You don't need a diagnosis or a doctor's referral for most of what's listed here. Many groups are free, and plenty of them let you simply turn up.

A Group Is Not an Emergency Service
The groups in this section are friendly, welcoming places, but they can't respond in a crisis. If you need help urgently, use the numbers in the box above, or see Need help now?
Something Out of Date?
Groups change their days, times and venues from time to time. We check the details in this section regularly, and each page says when it was last checked. If you spot something that's changed, or you run a local group that should be listed here, please get in touch.
