Support Groups

The ethos of the Centre and its ambiance provide a safe nurturing space for groups. It is the Centre’s policy to continue to have this service available, particularly for groups whose members may be experiencing an especially vulnerable period in their lives.

The groups who avail of the facility on a regular basis are PATHS and Omagh Men’s  Support Group.

Choose to survive. Feel the feelings. Stay connected. Slowly get your life back. Be the new you. Share your experiences.

PATHS (Providing Support After Bereavement by Suicide)

PATHS is an inter-denominational voluntary group formed to support families and individuals bereaved by suicide. Members of the group form a bond of friendship arising from their shared experience of having suffered similar shock, confusion, and loss in their lives. It is within this safe and confidential environment that PATHS members share their pain and grief.

For more information on PATHS please visit their website https://www.pathsomagh.com/

Meetings resume on 8th September 2026.

Expanded Support: PATHS & Tara Centre Collaboration

We recognise that group environments do not suit everyone and that individuals process grief in different ways. Through a dedicated funding initiative, PATHS and Tara Centre are collaborating to offer fully funded, one-to-one therapeutic interventions for individuals affected by suicide, whether directly or indirectly.

In addition to group meetings, you may now access funded individual support tailored to your personal needs, including:

• Talking Therapies: One-to-one counselling and psychotherapy.
• Creative Therapies: Art therapy and sand play therapy.
• Complementary Therapies: holistic treatments designed to support physical and emotional well-being.

Whether you wish to join the monthly peer support group or access individual therapies, help is available.

For further information or to inquire about funded individual support, please contact Jimmy on 07879 414385.

Omagh Men’s Support Group

This group offers men a safe and secure space where they can talk about their emotions, find help in managing the stress in their lives and explore possible ways of addressing life’s challenges. Issues raised include relationships, raising children, work, feelings of failure and ambition, loss and money concerns.

Disclaimer

While management genuinely appreciates the value of the services offered at the Tara Centre by both PATHS and The Omagh Men’s Support Group, we wish to point out that both groups are self-governed and as such function entirely independently of the Tara Centre governance system. Accordingly, the Centre carries no responsibility for any aspect of the life and activities of these groups.

This disclaimer also extends to all other persons or groups who use the Centre on an independent basis from time to time.

Groups are responsible for ensuring Tara Centre Protocols are adhered to.
