It will also provide some basic coping strategies for use whilst awaiting individual therapy. 

Grief is the response to loss, particularly to the loss of someone that has died, to which a bond or affection was formed. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, grief also has physical, cognitive, behavioural, social, cultural, spiritual and philosophical dimensions. CfD Bereavement Group will be a mix of psychoeducation and therapy to offer processing of grief which is sometimes a strong, overwhelming emotion for people … grief is the natural reaction to loss. 

We are currently running an online Worry Management Workshop for people who might be struggling with worries that lead to feeling very anxious. We all worry at times. However, if you find that you are constantly worrying about all sorts of things, regularly worrying about the worst case scenarios, or over-thinking things a lot, and may result in avoiding things that might make you feel anxious, or affecting your concentration, energy, or sleep, this workshop may be helpful for you. The group is set up in a workshop style and aims to teach tools and techniques to reduce the impact of worry on the mind and body, and to also find ways to cope with uncertainty. 

The Mood Management Workshop aims to teach you practical skills to tackle symptoms of low mood by exploring unhelpful patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It will focus on challenging difficulties with low mood, negative and repetitive thinking, self-criticism, low motivation and any tendency to avoid wanted goals. You will also learn tips on how to implement self-compassion and practice mindfulness techniques. 

The LTC group workshops aim to provide participants with a toolbox of skills to help people cope better with a broad range of physical and psychological distress. The LTC workshops also empower clients to pursue positive goals, develop greater acceptance of unchangeable aspects of health, and improve quality of life.
