| CBT Skills Groups Society of Victoria |
The Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Skills Group program is a physician-led program for adult patients (17.5-75 years old) who want to learn practical tools to improve their mental health. The CBT Skills Group program is a self-management course targeted at anxiety, depression and stress that integrates basic neuroscience concepts with introductory mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy teaching. It is delivered as an eight-week series of 90-minute group medical visits, with 15 patients per group. Patients learn practical tools to recognize, understand and manage patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving. They learn to be conscious of their choices as they respond to life stressors, and explore options for living a fuller, richer life, more aligned with what they value most.

Special Services During Pandemics (e.g. COVID/Corona), Disasters and Related Emergencies
These have been challenging times and the impact of the pandemic is being felt by all of us. That’s why the CBT Skills Groups Society has adapted their in-person CBT Skills Group Medical Visits to a virtual platform and have opened the service up to communities across the province.
Physicians and nurse practitioners across the province can now refer to the CBT Skills Group program directly and patients enroll and participate online, with little to no waitlist.
