Support groups
Stand Alone also runs support groups, where you can share your thoughts and experiences with others in a similar position in a non-judgemental space.
These groups are led by a specialist counsellor, and they run for six, free sessions, which cover themes of adult family relationship breakdown, such as
- coping with Christmas
- Mother's Day and Father's Day
- the living loss: grieving and acceptance
- trusting other people
- reconciliation
- how can I explain?
If you're interested in joining a support group, send your contact details to sheffield@standalone.org.uk.
