"Youth Living Well" - new MDAO group
« on: August 19, 2016, 01:27:19 pm »
New group starting in September for youth and  young adults at the MDAO:



“Youth Living Well” is an open-ended group for youth and young adults aged 16-24 who are affected by mood disorders and related issues. Youth Living Well is an interpersonal skills-building group that focuses on relationship issues with immediate family members, close supporters, and significant others. Each group consists of an ice-breaker exercise, a peer support session focused on the topic of the week in the first half of the group, and a structured psychoeducational/active participation in group activities portion in the second half of the group.

Topics that will be covered include:
•   Stigma and self-stigma
•   Talking about mental health issues
•   What’s a relationship anyways?
•   Wants, needs, and rights
•   Assertiveness
•   Active listening
•   Boundaries
•   Responding to criticism

Meets the second and fourth Thursday of each month from 6pm-8pm at the MDAO (36 Eglinton Avenue West, Suite 602).
