This group is for adults (ages 18+) who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety. This 10 week group draws upon Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to understand and treat symptoms of anxiety. This group explores the connection between our thoughts, feelings and behaviours and addresses each component of this interaction with skills and tools that are helpful in supporting recovery. It also looks at triggers and causes of anxiety and how to address these factors. This group is for people who are actively seeking to engage in the recovery process, and are willing to try to practice the skills taught in the group setting.

The Gender Journey’s Group main goal is to create a safe space to explore Gender Identify and Gender Expression. We hope that at the end of this group folks will feel a part of a larger community, have more comfort and clarity around their own identity, and feel supported to live their life in the way that feels most comfortable with them. As the name of the group indicates, we are not trying to arrive at a specific outcome or “destination” that is the same for everybody, we are embracing the journey for each individual. This group is a partnership between NL Health Services, Quadrangle NL and Lifewise.
