Anxiety/Depression Class

Untreated anxiety often leads to depression. According to the World Health Organization; the economic and societal consequences of depression make it the fourth costliest disease in the world.   By 2030, it will leap to the number one position.   Depression breeds depression.   The longer it goes untreated the more difficult it is to treat. 

With that in mind, The Northwest Catholic Counseling Center is offering a psycho-educational class on the topics of anxiety and depression.   Areas covered are relaxation techniques, dealing with negative and intrusive thoughts, emotional regulation, communication skills, and problem solving.  You will learn practical skills for dealing with depression and anxiety before or after it rears its ugly head.

This class will be offered both as a evening series and a one-day session.

Series dates: Thursdays, September 23, 30, October 7, 14, 21, 28, 2010
Series hours: 6:30pm-8:00pm
