Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we want to remind everyone that you are not alone, and support is available.

Portadown Wellness Centre was founded by Alan McDowell following his own personal struggles with mental ill health, including two occasions when he attempted to take his own life.

That experience inspired Alan to create a place where people experiencing difficult and challenging times could find care, compassion, understanding and encouragement.

At Portadown Wellness Centre, our aspiration is to walk alongside you on your journey towards feeling better and recovering.

We provide professional counselling alongside a range of therapeutic and occupational activities, including pottery & ceramics, arts & crafts, cookery, gardening & horticulture and yoga.

If you, or someone you know, is struggling, ๐ƒ๐Ž๐โ€™๐“ ๐’๐“๐‘๐”๐†๐†๐‹๐„ ๐€๐‹๐Ž๐๐„. ๐Ÿ’›

Reaching out for support can be the first step towards a brighter tomorrow.

What a wonderful afternoon we had at the Memories Dementia Cafรฉ last Thursday!

We were graced with the fantastic music by Janet and her talented friends, whose brilliant choice of songs soon had everyone singing along. ๐ŸŽถ There was even a little musical participation from Jordan!

And, as always, Gracie did a fantastic job keeping the tea and treats flowing โ€” no oneโ€™s cup was allowed to run dry! โ˜•๐Ÿฐ

Today was also a very special and emotional day for us, as we said farewell to our home at Portadown Wellness Centre.

We leave with both sadness and joy.

Sadness because Alan, Emma, Jordan and Gracie have been absolutely wonderful to us. From the very beginning, the whole team at the Wellness Centre welcomed us, supported us and helped the Cafรฉ grow. We will always be incredibly grateful for the part they have played in our story. ๐Ÿ’œ

But there is joy too โ€” because we're leaving for the best possible reason:

We need more room!

Just one year after the Memories Dementia Cafรฉ began, our little group has grown beyond the space available to us. That tells us something very important: this Cafรฉ is needed, it is valued, and it is making a difference in our community.

So this Thursday (10th September), a new chapter begins โ€” and we couldn't be more excited.
