An interactive session to help you create a safe space in your support group for sharing and approaching challenging thoughts and feelings.

Please join us for this interactive session, including delivered content, discussion and exercises, aimed at maximising your ability to create a space in your local support group that is safe enough for people to share what is going on for them - to 'approach' challenging thoughts and feelings, rather than avoid them - in the interests of everyone being able to get, and give, as much as possible from your group .

This session has been funded through the National Lottery 2020-2023

Lunch, snacks and tea and coffee will be supplied. All travel expenses will be paid (on submission of an expense claim and receipts) . We will pay standard rail travel, or mileage at 45p a mile.
