Group activities can make ideal settings for providing therapeutic programs with benefits gained through participation, sharing new skills and peer support. 
 
Drawing on  over ten years experience coordinating special interest groups, designing and facilitating group activities and community programs I deliver evidence based programs. The programs are person-centred to the needs of  the participants and are suitable for children, youth, adult or seniors groups.
