This skills group is divided into four modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Clients will learn skills to help them get through crisis situations, to accept the most challenging parts of their lives, to respond rather than react to their emotions, and to ask for things and say no to things in a way that balances taking care of their relationships, while also honouring self-respect. Each session begins with a brief mindfulness exercise, followed by a review of how participants practiced skills during the week, and an interactive lesson to teach a new skill.

MBCT. Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. Mindfulness helps us to relate differently to 'all' psychological and physical challenging situations and conditions, such as depression stress and anxiety. Helps us to calm the mind and body and to be more present in our lives. Research has proven that regular mindfulness practice can even improve our neurochemistry affecting the functioning of the brain. This cognitive therapeutic approach using mindfulness helps identify negative thought patterns often related to feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, reducing emotional reactivity Opening us to more constructive beliefs, often leading to changes in moods and behaviours. As a group we practice integrating different mindfulness techniques.
