Participants in this workshop learn about successful relational skills, managing their 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, as well as adopting the strategies that work best for each participant.

This small group 10-session workshop is held at my office at 313 Main Street in Rockland, on Wednesdays, 4:15–5:45 PM. This week, the first session focused on:

Workshop VIII (5/2): New Discoveries — Participants were reminded that this workshop focuses on three specific interventions that contribute to overall mental health health, and they are brain health, psychological health, and relational health. Today, the focus was psychological health, notably specific insights and interventions from the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University. Included were explorations of Transdiagnostic Emotional Disorders and Mastery of Anxiety and Panic.
