Bolton New Dawn Support & Self-Help Group

New Dawn is the name of a Bolton based OCD support and self help group.

It began when a local OCD sufferer found there was a lack of any local organisation that could provide help and information concerning OCD. With the help of Bolton's Mental Health Independent Support Team (MhIST), a group was set up, its first meeting taking place in September 2000.

 

Fortnightly meetings form the basis of New Dawns activities. These provide OCD sufferers with an opportunity to talk openly with each other, discuss relevant topics, swap advice and thoughts, etc. Occasionally, a guest speaker will be invited to talk to the group on OCD related subjects.

Anyone who suffers from OCD can join New Dawn. It does not matter how severe your OCD is, and even if you are unsure if you are affected by OCD, and want to know more, you are welcome to attend and have a talk with a member.

There is also a partners/family/carers group that runs alongside the ocd sufferers group.

There is a variety of information leaflets available, as well as a small library of books on the subject of OCD, which members are more than welcome to borrow.

Meetings are held every other Monday, from 7.30pm to 9.00pm. Details can be found on the New Dawn website.

New Dawn have also written an OCD Survival guide:
When having an OCD/Anxiety attack or feeling low, then refer to the points outlined below.

•
 I am NOT responsible for everything and everybody.
•
 I am NOT a bad person.
•
 Nothing terrible will happen.
•
 I will NOT always feel this bad.
•
 Just walk away.
•
 I do NOT have to say or explain anything.
•
 The words will come naturally.
•
 Tomorrow is a brand new start and everything that has gone before does NOT matter.
