Groups
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy- Adults
The DBT Group is intended to help adults (ages 18 yrs or older) practice mindfulness, increase assertive communication skills, strengthen emotion regulation, and learn new distress tolerance skills to help manage emotions more effectively. Working on these skills in a co-ed group setting gives adults the opportunity to practice hands-on DBT skills with their own personal life experiences, while doing so in a safe and therapeutic setting. Currently 4 co-ed DBT groups running at BAMHA on different days and times.

Memoir Writing for Adoptees
Would you like time each week to write about adoption and/or your identity? The group will meet weekly for an hour, and will offer structured writing exercises each week. It will not involve any type of critique, in order to maintain a safe space for people to write their life stories. Space will be limited to 6 people. Expected start date will be Spring of 2021. It will be facilitated by Eve Lyons, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), registered expressive arts therapist (REAT), and an adoptive parent.
