The fall and winter months are known for what's called "The Winter Blues," a period of time where seasonal depression and sadness is heightened due to the season being darker and colder than other months. Outside of the seasonal factors, many people have been struggling with long term depression and feel that every season, year round feels like a winter for them. Others may have gone through major losses of loved ones and are battling through the pain of grief. Some may also be processing through non-death related losses including break-up's, burnout, divorce, job-loss, friendship splits, life transitions, health emergencies, body or mobility changes, and a change in their overall social support system, etc. All of these factors can impact your mood, your well being, and your overall functioning to feel like you are emotionally or functionally stuck in the winter blues. If any of these stressors have held you in a winter, and you are ready to experience your spring seasonally and emotionally, then this group is for you. If winter hit you hard, this group is a reminder that you are not alone. Over the next 10-weeks, After The Winter Blues will not only help you process the pain that life's winter moments brought, but it will also help you heal through a shared group journey of renewing your mind, rediscovering your happiness, returning to peace, reconnecting with joy, restoring your hope, rebuilding your functioning, and re-establishing healthier ways to cope through life's difficulties. You'll be sharing this group process with other people who can relate to what you are going through to remind you that life happens to all of us. No matter what the winter seasons looked like before, your After is here. Your Spring season begins NOW! ◉ Group Therapy Enrollment Information ◉ If you are interested in joining the 10-week Virtual Therapy Group "After The Winter Blues" For Adults Overcoming Depression & Grief, please copy the link below, paste it in your browser and fill out the interest form to begin your enrollment process. ◉ Interest Form Link Here:◉ https://forms.gle/jGPR1PzHdTyYVC6e7 The group will be held on zoom Tuesday's at 5:30pm-6:30pm from 3/27/23- 3/29/23.
