Group programs

Finding Emotional Balance

This group has been designed to help you develop a wide range of skills for effectively managing emotions, so that you are more likely to reach your goals (and be the person you want to be, as you work toward what matters to you). We will learn and practice skills adapted from a form of therapy called Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Topics will include developing skills in mindfulness practice, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Registrants will be asked a series of screening questions prior to being admitted to the group to determine eligibility and the right fit. 

Thursdays, 10:30am - 12:00pm (October 27, November 3, November 17, and November 24) - Virtual (Zoom) 

Mindfulness

Why mindfulness? Mindfulness can reduce stress, anxiety, increase performance, and help us regulate our emotions.

The purpose of this drop-in group is to learn about different ways in which we can practice mindfulness in our every day life through common teachings, guided meditation, debriefing your experiences, and sharing with others.

Sessions are held in-person at Student Wellness Services (MSC 370).
