Reviews - Directed Group Work
(Drawing & Talking)
This activity is designed to be delivered to groups of 3-30 people, as a programme of 5-8 weeks, designed to fit snugly in a half term of any size, or to extend beyond calendar restraints to suit the needs of the attendees.
At the end of the programme, the participants and their parents/carers or school staff are asked to provide feedback.
This is still a fairly new addition to the services available.

Sad it is ending
They noted their own feelings of "Relaxed" and "Happy" at the beginning, this had changed to "Sad" and "Upset" by the final session. They said: "This has helped me a lot!" They also said they would recommend the sessions to a friend.
I believe the sadness was about the programme coming to an end, particularly as feedback to teachers had been so positive throughout.
