Do you want to live in the moment? Do you want to let go of worries about the future and regrets of the past?
If you are motivated for change, this program can help with stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, cardiac recovery and other health concerns worsened by stress. This is not a therapy group; it is a program to help you learn new skills for managing stress and life challenges.
This program meets weekly for 2 hours, for a total of 10 weeks.
This program may be for you if:
- You are 18 years of age or older
