Groups & Seminars

Joining a Group at drummond street services…

Some people like to attend groups and discuss the issues that are important to them with others going through similar experiences. Some people like to attend groups as a way of complimenting the work they are doing with counsellors individually or in a couple. Some people like group work because they enjoy getting together and meeting different people.  Some people just want to try something new!

Whatever your reason you are very welcome to choose from the groups we have scheduled or ring Zoe on 9639 2576 to chat about your needs.
