Anxiety Group- Accepting new group members

This is a cohesive, supportive, and validating environment. Sessions will contain psycho-education on anxiety and various coping skills. Interventions being used in this group include cognitive restructuring, mindfulness techniques, and stress management. Mindfulness techniques will be held at the beginning of each session in order to rid the members of the day's stress; this will enable members to be present in the moment and engage in-group interventions. Sessions will be comprised of an activity to open discussion on topics relevant to the group. Gratitude exercises will end each session to increase the member's positivity before leaving.
