The activity corner
Do you want to hone your skills of activity and creativity?
People are encouraged to try new things and find their strengths. The purpose of the group is to increase activity in daily life and strengthen oneself socially. Fun activities are available along with instruction in pre-advertised projects, but it is also possible to use the available material according to the participants' wishes. Being together and working in a group is about showing interest and coming up with new and fun ideas. You can also bring your own projects.

Grófin's Women's Society
Women in Grófinn create a women's community in collaboration with HSN's mental health team, where the goal is to get to know each other, have good times together, inside and outside Grófinn. Everything we do together aims to increase well-being in our own skin, create a good social relationship with each other and increase activity. The group can decide to try new things together and learn about things that increase the quality of life as well as go out into the community to enjoy and have fun. The group shapes the activities together.
Tilgangurinn er að skapa kvennasamfélag þar sem þátttakendur fá tækifæri til að kynnast og æfa sig í að ræða ýmis málefni, í öruggu, skipulögðu umhverfi. Lögð er áhersla á að hópurinn taki vel utan um nýliða og í upphafi fundar er farið vel yfir fyrirkomulag fundarins.
