Women's Empowerment Support Group Launched in Acton
Boost your confidence and wellbeing at free sessions
Samia Nelson will run the group
February 8, 2023
A free support group for women will be hosted by YARDO Community wellbeing for eight weeks in Acton.
The group organised an Empowerment programme in the area last week and the latest sessions will be facilitated by psychotherapist Samia Nelson MSc.
This eight-week, therapeutically-informed group is designed for women of all life stages and backgrounds and will be held during the day on Wednesdays (10.30am - 12.30pm). It begins on Wednesday 22 February and continues to Wednesday 26th April with two weeks off for Easter.
There is a limit of ten places on the course which takes place at the Acton Gardens Community Centre.
Samia Nelson aims to supports you to increase your confidence, self-awareness, communication skills and positive mental health.
Themes include managing emotions; personal power; setting boundaries; nurturing ourselves; and accessing support, using Transactional Analysis psycho-educational resources, tailored to the group's needs.
You are invited to let the group know if there are any issues you would like to explore when you register or when you join the programme. Generally, this programme focuses on developing the resilience and positive mental health required to face life's challenges be they related to health, work, family or relationships.
The hope is that the course provides an opportunity to build lasting friendships and a peer support network is an important component of empowering yourself and others. At the end of course, each participant receives a completion certificate.
The course is provided free due to funding from Acton Gardens Community Chest & Greene & Co Charity Ltd
You can book your free place online.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
