Six-Week Workshop on Stress and Worry for Young People
Are you a young person feeling overwhelmed by stress or worry? Join our six-week workshop designed to help you understand and manage these feelings in a way that works for you.
Our workshops run throughout the year at Portman Close and in Bracknell secondary schools. They offer a fun, relaxed, creative and supportive space where you can explore practical ways to cope with stress and worry.
You can take part in a way that feels comfortable for you, whether that’s talking, listening, joining in with creative activities or simply being part of the group.
