Open Doors Community Drop-In
Alongside a wealth of resources and information, Open Doors sessions offer friendly chat, a cup of tea or coffee, and delicious baking. Running in six locations all over Lochaber, you’re guaranteed a warm welcome, an open ear and time to listen or talk.
Open Doors in the Community
Ewen’s Room Open Doors sessions began over 10 years ago in 2010 in Strontian. Our initial aim was to provide information and support for people affected by mental health issues; whether their own or the shared suffering of a family member or friend. Over the years these regular meetings have evolved to provide a regular social opportunity providing support for all aspects of mental well-being.
Following the success of the Strontian Open Doors sessions in 2013, Acharacle Open Doors sessions were set up. In 2019, we launched Open Doors in Fort William. Many of the Ewen’s Room committee members, volunteers, and regular attendees at the Open Doors sessions have direct experience in mental health and well-being and are able to offer support, information, or just a friendly ear.
