Issues addressed in groups promote healing and help you:

• Reduce fears, anxieties and depression;
• Manage anger, guilt and shame;
• Curb destructive impulses and behavior;
• Regulate emotions and tolerate distress;
• Express thoughts and feelings;
• Practice interpersonal effectiveness and communication skills;
• Deal with addictions while finding healthy alternatives;
• Build structure into your days;
• Set limits;
• Replace negative self-talk with positive affirmation;
• Explore personal values and beliefs; and
• Receive information about medication and its proper use.

Clients attend group therapy and education sessions from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., four days per week, and typically are in the program for four to six weeks.

Our programs are ideal for people who have just been discharged from inpatient programs or, in some cases, are an alternative to inpatient treatment.
