Festive Friends Support Group

In light of the difficulties many of us face during the festive period, we are pleased to be able to offer you the opportunity to join our new FREE group intervention called 'Festive Friends' that will be running online via Zoom.

The intention of Festive Friends is to offer a safe and confidential space to share your thoughts and feelings around the holiday period with a focus on staying connected and feeling supported. We hope that Festive Friends will also provide an opportunity for you to further develop authentic & safe connections with your peers.
