Program Description

In these challenging times, resilience—the ability to adapt in the face of adversity—is more crucial than ever. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) stands as an evidence-based program designed not only to prevent depressive relapse but also to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and emotional stress. By integrating mindfulness practices with the insightful strategies of cognitive therapy, MBCT offers a comprehensive approach to mental well-being.

In our MBCT program, participants will acquire skills to effectively respond to emotional challenges. This approach allows you to transform your relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, fostering self-care and enhancing your resilience. Offered live online, the program facilitates meaningful interactions with instructors and fellow participants, creating a supportive and dynamic learning environment.

Join us to navigate life's storms with grace and cultivate a foundation of resilience through Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.
