Our groups are therapeutic programs for clients. A small group of people meets over several weeks with a psychologist to build skills and get support for a shared concern. Our workshops are one-off or short education sessions for professionals, schools, workplaces and community organisations. They focus on understanding an issue and learning practical strategies, and they are not therapy.
