Mind Mode intends to run free PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS starting Friday the 12th of July that will run from 2-4pm every Friday (excluding public holidays).
Who are these workshops for?
These workshops are designed to be as accessible as possible and therefore are free and will not require a referral. These workshops are designed to be psychoeducational (provide
information) rather than group therapy. If you are 18 years of age and over and are interested in attending let us know.
As these workshops are in the development phase the participants attending will need to be comfortable to consent to the workshops being recorded. Mind Mode intends to train
volunteer psychology students to run the group and therefore please be aware that the workshops ARE NOT THERAPY and the self-disclosure during the workshops will be minimal. This also means the workshops are not recommended for people requiring
therapeutic support for high needs (for example, substance use, high risk or significant cognitive impacts). If you are interested in future groups but feel these may not be the right fit please let us know and we can take down your interest for future masterclasses run.
What will these workshops look like?
Each workshop will have a maximum of 15 participants and will be psychoeducational in nature, meaning that these groups will be a way of providing information related to a range of topics.
The workshops will cover a range of topics, including;
1. CBT cycle
2. Behavioural Activation
3. Understanding the Nervous System
4. Cognitive Reframing and Changing beliefs
5. Value Identification & Committed Action
6. Goal Setting & Motivation
7. Mindfulness
8. Maladaptive protective behaviours*
9. Self Compassion
10. Strengths and Shadows*
11. Defusion & Radical Acceptance
12. Boundary Setting & Assertive Communication
13. Gottman Sound Relationship House & Magic 6hrs
14. Emotional regulation and the Window of Tolerance.*
15. Your diet and mental health (To be written by our dietitian Emma)
The above topics may be adjusted depending on the impacts of scheduling with Public Holidays, appropriateness of topics, or subject to interest.
Each workshop is intended to be a standalone topic and you are welcome to attend all in a row or sporadically across the set of topics. You are welcome to repeat attendance however, when there are number limits those having not attended before will be given precedence.
