What a fantastic night on Sunday night, celebrating just some of the thousands of ways in which DOCK Cafe is so much more than a coffee shop…<\/p>\n

\"FullSizeRender\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For example – a normal coffee shop doesn’t usually go out of its way to provide a ‘wee chat buddy’ to talk to anyone who is feeling that life is getting on top of them a bit.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0142\"<\/a>Diane (that’s her on the left) introduced us to a new scheme which is launching this Friday (10th October), and which she can describe much better than I can:<\/p>\n

The Wee Chat Buddy Project is the DOCK\u2019s new support project.<\/em><\/p>\n

A team of trained \u2018chat buddy\u2019 volunteers will be available daily in The DOCK Cafe for anyone needing a wee chat, support or a listening ear through the various life challenges that often lead to poor mental health. The buddies will help gain access to revelant specialist counselling.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Add<\/a>We launch on Friday 10th October from 12am onwards to acknowledge World Mental Health Day and it will be attended by a few of our local mental health support organisations.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our Wee Chat Buddy Co-ordinator Diane says:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cANYTHING goes\u2026. housing, suicide, self-harming, domestic abuse, alcohol, sexuality \u2013 you name it, we can hack it so don\u2019t sit alone! For more info just contact me\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

You can contact Diane through the new Wee Chat Buddy page on the Dock website here<\/a><\/p>\n

\"2014-02-14<\/a>I’m so excited to welcome Diane to the team… The DOCK is founded on the principle that life (and especially Life in the Titanic Quarter) is lived better together<\/em>… communities connecting, denominations co-operating, people reaching out and discovering that something as simple as a cup of great coffee and a good blether (or indeed a wee chat) can make all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
