ABSTRACT
• The group runs for seven sessions (each lasting around one and a half hours), with an optional eighth session included as a closing activity to celebrate the achievements of the young people who have attended. This optional session recognises the fact that group members will often have formed a close bond by the completion of the programme and often want to stay in touch. The decision to include this session or not is entirely for the facilitators to make, and will not affect the integrity of the programme if the decision is taken not to go ahead.
