Over the course of an 8-week structured program, group members will learn awareness exercises and cognitive interventions designed to help them deal with depression and anxiety and increase their feeling of control and direction in their daily lives.This group will be led by Dixie Turner on Wednesdays from 3:00pm-4:00pm beginning on 2/15/12 at the Wellness Center. A second session will begin on Thursdays from 3:00pm-4:00pm beginning on 3/1/12.
