This is an online psychological support group run by BAPAM in partnership with Equity for Equity members
This BAPAM and Equity psychological support group is facilitated by an experienced psychotherapist. The sessions are educational with exercises and techniques to take away each week and the chance to review them with the facilitator the following week.
The group runs for 6 weeks

Session 1 – Self-esteem and Self-doubt
Session 2 – Depression & Low Mood
Session 3 – Stress & Anxiety
Session 4 – Creativity & Motivation
