Group Structure & What To Expect…
Each group follows a basic structure so everyone knows what to expect.…
A group lasts up to 2 hours and has 2 stages. There are always 2 friendly facilitators present.
Doors open 10-15mins before the start and members are always and shown the snack table when they arrive for a soft drink and biscuit or other treat when available. There will be a circle of chairs and members are expected to be seated for the start time.
The 2 parts of a GHU Group:
1 CHECK-IN (up to 45mins)

2 GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST (up to 1hr.5mins)

-

NO PRESSURE TO TALK!
Sometimes just being in a space with others who understand can be enough.
