What is the
Social Confidence Group
Winter Blues Micro Groups are short, high-impact therapy groups to help you lift your mood and feel more energized — in just five sessions.
With a maximum of three participants, you’ll get personal attention and practical strategies, focusing on what’s already helping you cope — no overanalyzing, no drawn-out process.
These groups are for people ready to feel lighter, more motivated, and in control of their winter mood — quickly and with purpose.
Each group meets once a week for five weeks. Brief, affordable, and designed to fit into your life.
