Recently ATLAS members have been discussing what new starters to the group might want to know before their first session!
A member of the group who joined recently suggested that having some information about what the group could be like or what was involved would have been really helpful.
Together, members made a mind map to express what they thought a week as a member may include!

The mind map reads:
- Really enjoyable
- Trips
- Talk about our wellbeing
- Action Cards
- Surveys
- Awards
- Meeting new people/friends
- Weekly groups
- Social media posts
- Raising awareness
- Reducing stigma
- Sharing your experiences
- Makaton/learning new skills
- Quizzes
- Writing blogs
- Interview panels
- Parties/social events
- Routine
- Support if we need
- Gaining confidence
- Learn about other opportunities
