thrivin' together

A space for women impacted by gambling

Learn, Grow & Heal

We invite UK women with lived experience of gambling to become a member, by joining our community. Members can access a range of activities, training and workshops in a women-only space.

thrivin’ together aims to be representative of the women impacted by gambling. We know there are varied backgrounds and experiences and your voice matters.

Our aim is to provide a range of activities to increase your well-being, self esteem and connections with others. We want these activities to be creative, fun and flexible. Please keep your eye on this page for updates.

If you’re feeling a bit unconfident or struggle with IT (or anything else that may make you hesitant) let us know so we can support you to get involved.

Control Your Emotions, Control Your Life
Many of us believe we are at the mercy of our emotions, that they are automatic and that we have no control over them. This has scientifically been proven not to be true.

We might often feel angry, or anxious, or depressed, or feel we have no confidence and are therefore powerless to change. Again, this is not true. We ALWAYS have more control over our emotions than we might think.

*What an emotion is – and what it isn’t
*Why being in control of our emotions is important for good health and every aspect of our lives
*The four elements that make up an emotional state, and
*A quick and effective way to change your emotional state whenever you want.

This is a fun, interactive session held in a safe, confidential space. You will take away a new way of looking at how you react to the world around you and some practical tools for managing your emotions.

Tuesday 1 April 7-8.30pm
