WithYou helped me to learn how to cope with daily life and helped me to see myself in a better light. Today, I am happy and confident in my own skin.
The programme was really good. I was given great tools, some of which I can really use to help me with my struggles. The workbook is also a lovely addition, I really like how you can make it personal, as I love colouring.
Small groups offer the potential to learn from the experience of others. Often, the groups develop strong bonds and friendships which last beyond programme delivery.
Some people can initially be daunted by the idea of working in a small group. But delivering the sessions in this way can help you to see that you're not alone in your thinking.
