Groups

We’ve seen the value that group work can bring to the wellbeing of older adults, and over the years we’ve refined how we offer this part of our service. While we no longer run regular in-house groups, we now focus on collaborating with other organisations to deliver tailored sessions and workshops that meet specific needs.

We are happy to:

• Provide speakers or facilitators for existing group programmes
• Co-design and co-deliver group sessions in partnership with community organisations
• Respond to requests for tailored support or topic-specific workshops for older adults

Our experienced counsellors bring warmth, skill and a deep understanding of older people’s experiences to group facilitation. We’re always open to conversations about how we can contribute meaningfully in community or organisational settings.

 

Past groups ‐ (for reference)

We’ve previously offered a range of group programmes that may inspire future collaboration:

Saying yes to today

A group focused on increasing wellbeing and living mindfully in the present, while exploring past experiences and future hopes.

Weekly two-hour sessions for four weeks.

Taming anxiety

Helping participants develop strategies to manage anxiety and reclaim everyday activities and connections.

Tailored groups

We have partnered with organisations like Dementia Wellington and rest homes to design groups around shared experiences (e.g., carers support).

We welcome enquiries from community organisations, aged care providers, and other groups interested in partnering with us.
