Falling Awake:

Mindfulness for Depression and Anxiety

Many social workers, counselors, nurses, psychologists, and psychiatrists live with anxiety and depression, deeply understanding the experiences of the clients who come to us for help with these conditions. We often manage depression and anxiety alone, or solely with the help of our personal health care providers. We can benefit from the support of and connection with colleagues. This Falling Awake class will consist only of mental health professionals who would like to learn and embody mindfulness practice as an approach to managing depression and anxiety. It is out of a personal mindfulness practice that we can begin applying these skills to work with clients.

Join colleagues in a safe and supportive class where you will learn skills to help you stay out of the negative thoughts and feelings that accompany depression and anxiety.
