Therapeutic groups

Being part of a group is an opportunity to meet and hear from others who have had a similar experience to your own. Sharing your story and hearing how others have dealt with similar situations can reduce the sense of isolation, help normalise your feelings and ways of coping with what has happened to you. Therapeutic groups are an alternative way to explore the past and understand the present.

Creative therapeutic groups

We also run creative groups which offer an opportunity to explore alternative ways of expressing yourself. Sometimes it is too difficult to express yourself in words or the words just aren't there to communicate what you want to say. Using other mediums such as photography, art, music and writing can convey more than just words alone and help in exploring a new and more satisfying way to express yourself.

Groups at Mankind are facilitated by two trained counsellors and normally involve a 2-hour session once a week for 12 weeks. Attending a group will involve a fee based on a sliding scale. This will take into account employment status and current financial status to arrange an affordable fee.
