Mindfulness-based programs can transform your life.

Depression is episoidc and relapse is common.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) was developed to help patients prevent relapse of depressive episodes. It can also address the anxiety that often accompanies depression.

WHAT IS MBCT

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) integrates mindfulness practice with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help prevent depressive episodes and improve mental health. 

This program may be for you if:

  • You struggle with perfectionism and overthinking. 

  • You need help managing stress and stopping burnout

  • You want support in managing anxiety and depression

  • You want to develop a plan to prevent depression relapse

You will learn skills that can improve your mental health and help you respond more effectively to unavoidable difficulties and suffering in your life.



WHAT MAKES THIS GROUP DIFFERENT?

Getting effective support for burnout, stress, and mental health is a challenge for everyone, but Black people face specific challenges, especially in Mindfulness-Based programs, which mostly reach highly educated White women.***

This group is a space for Black people and people of African descent. No one will be excluded based on race or ethnicity, but this space will prioritize the needs of Black people.
