This is a 9-week course and a closed group - everyone starts together at week 1 and the expectation is that people attend each session.  We keep it small, maximum of 8 so people find they form a trusting and supportive group and there’s lots of time for discussion and sharing.   The aim of the group is to assist people to identify clearly how they are feeling, understand the function and purpose of emotion and develop creative and healthier strategies to manage feelings rather than either acting out and / or numbing or blocking in ways that are harmful to themselves and others. Please see more information under 'Our Courses'.
