The Group Meetings section offers a wide range of free online meet- ings with professionals in the Family Care, Lifestyle and Pet Care areas, ranging from fitness and meditation sessions to family-related meetings with psycholo- gists and psychotherapists. All meetings are free and take place in group mode.
