Welcome to Ewen’s Room – Come on in.
Here you’ll find support and information for anyone who is affected by anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other mental health issues. Our services are particularly targeted at the communities of Ardnamurchan, Sunart and Morvern, where we offer weekly social ‘Open Doors’ meetings, and regular health and well-being sessions. We also provide carefully targeted mental health awareness lessons for young people in our local schools, an important element of the national curriculum.
Please feel free to wander through Ewen’s Room and learn more about our work.
Mental Health
One in four of us can expect to experience some form of mental ill health at some point in our lives. Ewen’s Room aims to provide mutual support and information on health and wellbeing issues, while countering the stigma of mental illness.
Open Doors
Our weekly drop-in sessions provide provide a welcoming environment for chat and discussion with tea, coffee and home baking. You can benefit from mutual help and information on mental health issues, or just go with the flow and enjoy the cheery company. Open doors groups currently take place in Strontian and Acharacle.
Telephone Helpline
This locally based service has trained people available to listen, as well as provide information and advice on mental health issues and how to access professional help when, or if, required. We also offer an option to talk via text message for those who prefer this.
