Support That Starts With You

Our local support groups offer safe, welcoming spaces for young people across Greater Manchester to connect, reflect and grow.

These groups focus on emotional wellbeing, identity, recovery, and peer support, often shaped directly by young people’s voices and lived experience.

All groups are free to attend and run by trusted Early Break practitioners, often alongside guest speakers, role models or professionals from local services. Whether you’re waiting for 1:1 support, looking for connection, or curious about a topic like stress, self-esteem or substances, there’s a group for you.

Use the menu below to explore what’s on in and around your area.

The Early Break facilitators were brilliant, engaging, knowledgeable, and very aware of the real-world challenges professionals face.
