Essential Skills Program for Families and Caregivers of those with Mental Health Challenges
Caregiver Support and Mental Health - Adult & Senior
Provided by Emotions BC Health & Wellness Society of British Columbia Inc.
This program equips families and caregivers who have loved ones (of any age) faced with mental health challenges and very big feelings.
The low-barrier Essential Skills program provides an introduction to evidence-based skills to help families and caregivers communicate more effectively with a person living with mental health challenges. The teaching is practical and equips participants with tools that can be put into action immediately and are based on the concept of “responding” rather than “reacting” in an effective way.
The Essential Skills Program is delivered over a 6-week condensed or 8-week period by facilitators with lived and living experience and is based on the fundamental skills of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
