Wednesday Afternoon Group
The meetings
generally follow a clearly defined structure, however, this is
flexible, depending on the needs and wishes of the group.
- Each
individual is given the opportunity to share with the group any
concerns, issues, experiences (positive or negative) that they may have
had since the last meeting.
- This
is followed by a discussion on a particular topic chosen by the group
e.g. how the diagnosis affects them and/or others, or particular
aspects of the diagnosis that members of the group may be experiencing
difficulty with.
- The
meeting concludes with making arrangements for the social evening group
and deciding on a topic for discussion for the following afternoon
group meeting.
Wednesday Evening Social Group
This
is an informal social evening group with an emphasis on participation
in social activities. The group plan an activity or outing of their
choice such as quiz and games nights, going out socially to pubs,
restaurants and bowling.
