Skills and Support for Living Well with Bipolar Disorder:
A Therapy Group
Are you looking for support to better navigate living with bipolar disorder? Join us for an ongoing, weekly therapy group to help you optimize your mood, functioning and quality of life!
WHAT? You will learn skills from research-based therapies, including psychoeducation, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Each month we will emphasize one set of skills, such as:
· behavioral strategies (e.g., opposite-emotion action; values clarification)
· mindfulness & cognitive defusion
· cognitive restructuring
· acceptance and willingness strategies
· sleep strategies
You and your fellow group members will support each other in using these skills in your everyday life. Each group session will include presentation/review of a skill and time for sharing and support.
WHO? 5-8 adults who have the shared experience of living with a bipolar disorder (bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymia, or bipolar disorder not elsewhere classified).
WHEN? Wednesdays 1:00-2:20pm MT
WHERE? Any private location with high-speed internet for video conferencing
COST? $75 per session per member, pre-paid monthly
