  • Group facilitator(s) will provide psycho-education on particular topics as well as facilitate discussion among participants.
  • The last 15-20 minutes of the workshop will include a guided imagery relaxation exercise to leave you rejuvenated and refreshed to go on with the rest of your day!

What is guided imagery?
