Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Skills Group
The Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Skills Groups are open to all BC residents with a valid Canadian health card number.
What is the CBT Skills Group program?
The Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Skills Group program is an eight-week group medical visit for adult patients (17.5-75 years old) who want to learn practical tools to improve their mental health.
The CBT Skills Group program is a transdiagnostic course that integrates basic neuroscience concepts with introductory mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy skills and teaching.
It is delivered as an eight-week series of 90-minute group medical visits, with up to 16 patients per group. Patients learn practical tools to recognize, understand and manage patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving. They learn to be conscious of their choices as they respond to life stressors, and explore options for living a fuller, richer life, more aligned with what they value most.
During the pandemic, all groups are offered virtually and available for any patient across British Columbia. These virtual groups will continue to be offered after in-person groups resume.
