The Carrickfergus AWARE Support Group takes place every two weeks at the Old Town Hall.

The group is open to people with depression and bipolar disorder as well as their family and carers. It is free of charge and no appointment is necessary. The next group will meet on April 6 at 6.30pm and fortnightly thereafter. AWARE has 23 NI Support Groups bringing invaluable peer-support to people enabling them to support each other.
