Anger Management (Wednesdays, September 18 – October 9 / 1:30pm – 3:30pm)
In this new 4-week program we will explore the causes and symptoms of anger, the power of any intense feelings, as well as how much stress can affect our ability to emotionally regulate. We will examine anger myths, emotional triggers, and the impacts our emotions have on our personal and professional relationships. Each session will introduce some practical coping skills. In the final session we will focus on how to move forward with the newly acquired skills and work towards a new best possible self.

Adult DBT Skills Group* (Thursdays, September 19 – November 21, 2024 / 1:30pm – 3:30pm)
Marsha Linehan’s dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based model of therapy that helps people learn and use new skills to build lives they feel are worth living. DBT is made up of four main components: core mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These components consist of skills that help us to be more present in our bodies, lives, and relationships; understand and manage our emotions; cope with and survive intense emotions and improve our relationships. This group is psychoeducational and will consist of discussion, weekly “take-home” practice, videos, and mindfulness activities.

Women’s Empowerment (Tuesdays, October 1 – November 5, 2024 / 10:00am – 12:00pm)
Sometimes we need space and time to breathe, to be open to new ideas, to self-discovery. Daily life stressors, work, family, relationships, and focusing on your goals can become very task-focused. The Women’s Empowerment Group gives women an opportunity to meet for self-discovery through self-compassion; self-esteem; self-care; mindfulness discussions and activities. It’s a safe and confidential environment for women to grow at their own pace. This group is suited for women who are interested in their own personal growth.

CBT Skills Group (Wednesdays, October 22 – December 10, 2024 / 10:00am – 12:00pm)
In this new 8-week program we will start by learning the brief history of how behavioural therapy and cognitive therapy morphed into what we know today as CBT. Throughout the program, we will explore the relationship between our thoughts, behaviours, and feelings and how they influence our daily lives.

We will also look at how our negative thought patterns develop and what we can do to unlearn them will be analyzed as well. Additionally. the group will introduce practical skills in each session.
