| Art Therapy Session: ROAD OF ACCEPTANCE
During this workshop we make our own road maps representing our life experiences. What does your road look like, & what are the obstacles? Which give us an opportunity to identifying what is in our control and the things that are not. We explore acceptance, reduction of stress and ways to enhance self-esteem. This workshop is facilitated by a qualified, practicing therapist/counsellor who is experienced working with grief and loss and is a trauma informed practitioner. Materials participants will need: some paper (A4 print paper or similar) and any of the following: coloured pencils/felt pens/pens/paints. |
The Supporting Blokes Support Group is a group for the male partners of women affected by breast cancer. Having a loved one diagnosed with breast cancer can have an impact on relationships and the family unit.
This group offers men a chance to share experiences, learn coping strategies and gather information. We discuss how you can best support your partner through this difficult journey. The sessions are a safe space to share, learn and help each other get through this hurdle. The sessions are run by our Breast Care Nurse Consultant Jamie Kelly and we are often joined by a guest speaker to offer their expertise on a particular breast cancer topic or men’s health topic.
If you are thinking of joining, please come along and give it a try!
