Christmas can be a hard time of year for women partners of bi and gay men.
For women in and around Sydney, we can let you know of a great new course ‘Preparing for the Silly Season’ – a six week course to help people prepare for Christmas and make this year different.
It will be run by Leichhardt Women’s Health Centre and the whole aim is to provide you with some new skills to help manage:
- Difficult relationships with family and friends
- Excessive or harmful behaviours such as over-drinking, over-spending, substance use
- Awkward or hurtful situations and emotions
The skills learned will not only help for Christmas, but will be skills for life.
Thursdays 2.30-4.30pm, 10 November to 15 December.
The program looks like this:
Week 1: Budgeting
Week 2: Skills and techniques to manage difficult emotions and stress
Week 3: Understanding and handling difficult relationships (family and friends)
Week 4: Understanding and managing excessive behaviours (eg drinking, love and sex, eating – yours and other people)
Week 5: Managing other difficult situations that arise at this time (grief and loss, change)
Week 6: Pulling it all together
Week 7: Optional refresher group 22/12/16
