The structure of a GV Support Group
We have an online ‘group’ for each physical group, you will be advised how to join at your first session.
Welcome
There will be 2 facilitators wearing a GV hoodie or t shirt and lanyard waiting to greet you! We can even meet you outside. On your 1st session you’ll need to fill out 2 short forms, and everyone completes a check in every session.
Getting Started
The session always starts with any group/venue rules, a statement about confidentiality, and where to find toilets and make a hot drink or find the biscuits – an induction to the rules and basics! The group is 90 minutes long.
What’s next?
There is always some kind of check in, how you are feeling, how was your week, anything big happening for you right now? While the others listen, there is never any pressure to share. There’s usually some kind of craft activity available at each session.
Ending
The facilitator will advise when the session is coming to an end and make sure everyone who wants to has shared, there will be some kind of check out and maybe a light hearted question or bit of fun to end the session.
