'Safe Place' Groups  

These therapeutic groups are run for women, men, couples, adolescents and children, and were developed out of recognition that the clients being seen at Eden would benefit from further support to overcome difficulties and stresses that they were encountering.

Eden Therapy Services wanted to provide another avenue where clients could receive such support in a group context.

Our aim is to provide a safe place where participants can develop skills and explore healthy ways to:

• tolerate distress and pain
• have compassion and respect for oneself
• interact with others without compromising personal values and beliefs
• make changes that allow for purpose and meaning in life.

Creativity, a natural human function, plays an important role in the development of these skills.

Each week we will be using different mediums, for example artwork, collage, Lego and viewing DVDs.
