                   Support Meetings & Coffee Mornings

  All welcome! 

 

The following dates will be coffee mornings held at 9.30am - 11.30am at The St Christopher School, Mountdale Gardens, Leigh-on-Sea.

 

The Why Try programme is a visual/practical based programme designed to encourage positive change amongst individuals of all ages, though primarily for young people.  The programme is based upon a series of visual metaphors used to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviour using video, music and activities.  This session is a trial session with Duncan Paveling, Counsellor and Why try Practitioner to give parents and carers a better understanding of the programme.  There will be opportunity to ask questions or just relax with a cuppa after the taster session.

 

There is no charge for entry.  Donations for refreshments are gratefully accepted.
