WHY CLASSES?  There are multiple reasons why psychoeducational classes provides resilience benefits to you, your relationships, and your life roles.  Here is a partial list:
​
  • Normalizing your experiences.
  • Increasing your perspective-taking and knowledge of resources.
  • Providing a sense that "you are not alone" facing your issues, which reduces loneliness and provides a sense of community.
  • Empowerment and commitment to change through learning and taking this first step.
  • New coping skills to consider and try out.
  • Affordable and a low commitment of time.
  • Allows you to explore your needs in a non-threatening, nonjudgmental, and supportive place.
​
However, classes may not take the place of needed individual, couples, and/or crisis counseling.  Classes may be helpful as a supplement to your counseling, and as a way to identify whether you may need further support.
