Previous participants’ comments include: "Very informative with useful handouts and practical exercises, very knowledgeable staff.” and “So supportive - the warmth and compassion shown meant such a lot to me - I felt heard and I felt understood”
Both the Great Yarmouth and Swaffham courses start on Thursday May 15 and run for 8 weeks on consecutive Thursdays from 10:00-12:30 at the Black Monk Room, The Priory Centre, Priory Plain, Great Yarmouth and Swaffham Community Centre, the Campingland, Swaffham
