The AoC have successfully delivered 1-to-1 therapy and counselling to a number of clients who have been referred to us by Dudley Voluntary Service also know as Dudley CVS & Integrated Plus.
They refer clients to us that are known High Intensity Users (HIU) for us to offer them support with any issues they may be facing ranging from anxiety, depression, bereavement and much more.
We have also ran creative art groups via our Creative Orchid Project to support issues such as body image, anger, depression and self-esteem.
We are pleased to announce both of these projects will continue to run after more funding was secured for each. Dudley CVS continue to refer any clients in need of support to us for therapeutic support.
The COP groups began in March with the body image group and have another 5 groups coming up starting with an anxiety group starting on Monday 26th April 2021 at 1:00pm.
Anyone can refer to the COP groups if they feel it would benefit them and what’s even better is that they are completed free to join! All we require is a referral form to be completed and returned to us via email or in the post.
