Introducing The Soke’s 4-week evidence-based course for adolescent groups inspired by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) starting Monday 14 November, 5pm-6.30pm

Would your child benefit from learning coping strategies to manage their emotions and wellbeing?
Who is it for?
Is your child…
feeling low or depressed

The group is ideal for adolescents (15- 17 year olds) on a waitlist, or to complement and enhance their existing individual 1:1 work.
