Coping With Depression Through Mindfulness

Group Therapy for Depression

Based on the book

“Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression”

by Segal, William & Teasdale.

This is a 10-week psycho education group that will help clients learn to manage their symptoms and prevent future relapses.

The Core Aims of Group Therapy for Depression are:

	To help participants who suffer from depression learn skills to cope with symptoms and prevent relapse.
	To increase participants awareness of body sensations, feelings, and thoughts from moment to moment.
	To help participants develop a different way of relating to sensations, thoughts, and feelings – specifically, mindful acceptance and acknowledgment of unwanted feelings and thoughts, rather than habitual, automatic, preprogrammed routines that tend to perpetuate difficulties.
	To help participants choose the most skillful response to unpleasant thoughts, feelings, or situations that they experience.

You May Attend This Group If:

	You have been diagnosed with major depression or bipolar disorder and are currently in remission or experiences low level symptoms.
	You have at least one other form of counseling support.
	You are not actively suicidal, manic and are not currently abusing drugs or alcohol.
