Group work

Sometimes it is really helpful to work through our issues with a small group of people together who are able to share their experiences and work through issues together. The What Centre has a range of therapeutic groups, workshops as well as a youth club to support these. Please look at our What's on page to get exact dates of activities 

NEW!! Support group for parents/carers of LGBTQ+ teens

Level 2 anxiety group support/Steering group (BY INVITE ONLY) 

A second level support group for young people who have already received support through the service and who feel like they may benefit from further peer support. Run by a senior counsellor, the group continues to look at ways to cope with different issues but also form the steering committee, helping to guide the service to improve and to advice on different support that maybe useful for young people.
