Group CBT in a Community Mental Health Setting

The nine-week group cognitive behavioural therapy program applies evidence-based best practice to enable consumers to better manage symptoms of anxiety and depression in a strengths-based group learning environment.

The group is led by a Senior Social Worker and Clinical Psychologist, with guest presentations from other mental health and community health staff.

With its focus on psychoeducation, early intervention and overall wellbeing, the program is a sufficient, stand-alone intervention for many participants, reducing reliance on other mental health services.
