Starting Wednesday, January 12, 2022, we are beginning a new session of our Virtual Peer-Led CBT.
Peer-Led Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a program to help effective for a range of problems, including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. Peer-Led CBT is based on several core principles, including:

+ Psychological problems are based, in part, on faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking.
+ Psychological problems are based, in part, on learned patterns of unhelpful behaviour.
+ People suffering from psychological problems can learn better ways of coping with them, thereby relieving their symptoms and becoming more effective in their lives.

Spots are limited. Registration can be found here: https://forms.gle/DZPXmRKcpgiKtZKT6
