Benefits of Workshop
We established one-day workshops in response to a growing demand for specialist information and help with Depression and OCD. These are not support groups but workshops with presentations, assessments, workshop materials and guided practical exercises to give the attendees practical coping skills in specific areas. The emphasis is on an interactive workshop, many with practical exercises to learn new skills. All workshops are set within a friendly, safe, empathetic and welcoming environment. Rather than feel alone and helpless the workshops are designed to facilitate the following:
Meet others with Depression and/or OCD.
Get help with problem gambling.
Get insight into how our program works.
Supplement your current treatment plan.
Gain greater self-awareness.
Identify areas that need work.
Learn new skills.
Practice new skills.
Work within a group.
Ask questions.
Take new skills and knowledge away.
Set future goals.
Make contacts (optional).
