Starting March 7, this workshop represents an opportunity to learn about successful relational skills, managing your emotions — including anxiety and depression, and effective intervention and treatment strategies, all in the context of a supportive group environment. Sharing, supporting, and encouraging one another, while learning new perspectives and meaningful skills, and adopting the strategies that work best for you.
