Virtual Peer-Led Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an 8 week session online support program for small groups of young adults and adults (maximum of 10) with mental health and/or addiction concerns. It is a safe, judgement-free space with support, encouragement and tools to help individuals cope better with daily life. The program's focus is to better understand the role mental health, addictions, and trauma plays in our thought processes. The participant will also learn behavioural strategies to help reorient thinking, action-taking and making lasting positive self-talk changes.
