A virtual counselling group workshop on ‘Surviving Christmas 2020’ will be hosted by Joseph’s Corner next week.
The free workshop, funded by Hobsons Bay council, is among several local events this month to support those who may have difficulty during the “festive” season.
Joseph’s Corner senior counsellor Heather Bunting said the Zoom workshop would allow people to express their concerns, such as having mixed feelings about socialising again, worries about addressing potential conflicts, or experiencing feelings of exclusion and loneliness.
“A lot of people experience family issues at this time of the year,” she said.
“In families where there’s been a bit of a break in communication or relationship, it can mean that people can’t do their previous family thing.
