• Who runs the events? 

  Our staff run the events and send you relevant information. Either someone from our services team or a qualified therapist will facilitate each of the 3 events.   

• What if I can’t make a session? 

  We hope you can join each session, but we understand if you can’t make one week for various reasons. If you could let us know you won’t make it, that would be great, but we won’t be in touch to ask where you were.

• Do I have to speak or go on camera?  

  If you can, please keep your camera on because it helps everyone feel more connected. If there isn’t a camera on your computer, don’t worry, just send us a message in the chat to let us know.

  It’s fine to keep your microphone on throughout the session, but if your background is noisy, please go on mute when you’re not speaking.
