Kent and Medway SUN (Service User Network)

SUN (Service User Network) is a community network of peer-support groups. It is for people who are experiencing difficulties with complex emotions often associated with Personality Disorder, but you don’t need a diagnosis to attend.

SUN groups can support someone by helping them to share their experiences with others who are feeling the same, or similar.

These groups are for people who find their emotions are affecting their relationships, or have difficulty managing their emotions.

The aim of SUN is to support someone in the community by connecting them with like-minded people who are feeling the same. This helps someone to feel less isolated and can help them to manage their feelings before they reach the point where they can’t cope.

SUN groups are led by a facilitator with Lived Experience and a clinician facilitator.
