BZA's Emotional Wellness groups provide skill-based sessions that introduce techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness. Within the sessions you may
practice skills to help manage feelings of anxiety, anger, depression, and low self-esteem. The Emotional Wellness group will provide you with practical strategies that you can begin implementing into your life immediately!
Strategies will aim to enhance a mindset of positivity and optimism, regulate your behaviors so that you’re experiencing and managing a range of emotions each day, improve your emotional awareness and self-advocacy skills, and
assist you in being present and appreciative throughout your day so that you can live your life to the fullest. Emotional Wellness will teach you preventative mood management strategies as well as interventions to use when you are
feeling emotionally flooded. The group will operate on a 12 week cycle and will support you in enhancing your control over your emotions and behaviors.
