"Enabling Life" 6 Session Course. Help for Anxiety & Depression - Cairns

Too often, people are left in the dark about the FULL RANGE of strategies they can use for recovery from Depression and Anxiety. That is what is great about THIS program - it pretty much covers it all.

This program is unique in its approach to Depression and Anxiety in that:

• It is in a workshop format where personal sharing is not required.
• Covers 30+ potential contributing factors that, in various combinations, lead to depression and anxiety. Each participant develops an understanding of what combination has contributed to their specific experience and the key strategies for addressing each one.
• Explores the how-to for changing each of the factors in a very practical manner that works for people who are in the worst of their depression and anxiety, and who find it hard to get started with anything that's meant to help.

Participants can take or leave the information according to what’s relevant for them, and they feel that they are not alone in the journey towards rebuilding a life worth living.

At Enable OT we believe in charging people according to their circumstances and have an Honour You & Honour Me approach to what we charge. We ask people to pay the full fee if they can afford it because we have families to feed and need to pay for practice overheads.
