JSA Psychotherapy celebrate with Christmas meal at Bertram’s

JSA have been celebrating the end of the year in style, getting everyone on the team together for a meal!

Last Friday we met up for the office party at Bertram’s restaurant in Crow Wood leisure centre. Bertram’s has been a company favourite for meals out in years past, but this time we’ve had lots of new staff acquisitions that made it difficult to get seats together. Instead, we booked their upstairs function room for a quieter gathering. This turned out to be a great decision, with everyone getting the chance to chat and unwind over the food and music without getting drowned out by the crowds downstairs.

The operations team, directors, therapists and associates were all invited. As per tradition, our sister company Life Change Care joined us as well. Emma Bogle and Kelly James were in attendance, the Registered and Deputy Managers of the children’s home that LCC oversee. So was as Shannon Shirtcliffe, their operations apprentice. A real highlight of the evening was when the time came for the everyone in each section of the company to share gifts with each other from an anonymous Secret Santa pool.

Overall the night was a joyous celebration of everything we’ve accomplished this year, despite major changes to JSA and LCC’s organisational structure. The last few months have been a time of incredible growth and improvement for both companies, and everyone’s earned a break from some of that intensity now. The meal has been the first opportunity for respite until we finish up the last essential matters of business and close up on the 21st. After that, we’ll all be enjoying a long awaited intermission for the holidays. At least until the new year, when it’ll all start again in earnest.

We couldn’t be more excited to find out what 2019 has in store, and we’ll be sharing the news every step of the way once we get there.
