Some work only happens in a room with other people
A group meets regularly, with the same members and the same facilitator. Nothing about it is drop-in — the membership is what makes it work.
Two kinds of group
Support group
Built around a shared experience — grief, caregiving, a diagnosis. The facilitator holds the space; the members carry the content.
Therapeutic group
Follows a clinical method with a defined arc and a defined end. Joining involves a short assessment, because the mix of the group matters clinically.
Age groups, kept separate on purpose
Adolescents and teenagers are not one audience. The material, the language and the consent process differ, so we run them as separate groups.
Adolescents
Shorter sessions, more structure, a parent briefing at the start and the end.
Teenagers
Longer sessions, more autonomy, and confidentiality that belongs to the member.
Adults
Mixed or single-gender depending on the group’s clinical purpose.
Who can join a given group
Some groups are open to everyone; some are limited to men, to women, or to a specific age band. This is participant eligibility — it is stated on each group so you know before you enquire, and it is never a way of sorting the catalogue.
Online and in person
At the centre, same room each week. Best for therapeutic groups and for adolescents.
Camera on, same time each week. Opens groups to members outside Cairo.
Joining a group
Tell us which group and what brings you to it. No payment yet.
Twenty minutes with a facilitator — for therapeutic groups this is a clinical intake.
We confirm the group, or suggest a better fit, or offer the waiting list.
You join with the group agreement in front of you and pay for the first block.
