The symptoms associated with depression can have a significant impact on a persons ability to function and achieve a meaningful, personally rewarding life. Over a prolonged period of time, depression can have a large impact on the way we think about ourselves and engage with the world around us – typically in a way that is unsatisfying and life-draining!

Program outline

• Focus on addressing unhelpful, harmful thoughts that contribute to ongoing depression symptoms and unpleasant feelings
• Learn the skills to contend with unwanted, unrewarding behaviours and ways to start living in a manner that brings meaning to your life.
