Groups
Depression Support Group
When we find ourselves in the dark hole of depression, we tend to isolate. We feel others won't understand because we've had family and friends say insensitive things like " It's all in your attitude - think positive." or "You've got to pull yourself up." As you know, depression doesn't work that way. You just feel stuck and hopeless. This group offers you helpful support from other's who are suffering. You'll also learn practical skills which will help you manage your negative emotions. Reaching out for support is a positive step to feeling better.

Couples' Communication Skills Class
Many couples struggle with their communication. Over time, if issues are not resolved, resentments occur effecting our ability to communicate. It is our perception of our partner that actually creates the disconnect in communication. Unfortunately, you're partner is doing the exact same thing. Don't worry, it is not our fault or our partners. We never learned in school how really listen and validate. We were taught o react! This group will teach you both how to manage your thoughts and reactions, actively listen and validate. Come learn these important communication skills in a fun environment.
