  • Before each meeting: we will send information in advance so you can prepare
  • During/after each meeting: there will be specific tasks (clear, manageable actions) for the group to help with

Bringing a friend

Questions or access needs

  • If you have any access needs (for example captions, breaks, or joining by phone), please tell us in advance so we can make it work for you.
