Group Programs

At Global Minds Psychology, we are excited to announce that we are in the process of developing a variety of group programs designed to provide support, education, and therapeutic benefits to individuals facing similar challenges. These programs will offer a powerful way to connect with others, gain new perspectives, and learn effective strategies for managing various issues. Group therapy can complement individual counselling, offering additional layers of support and insight.

Our Services

Collaboration

To ensure the highest quality and relevance of our group programs, we are collaborating with local healthcare professionals and organisations.

This collaborative approach will assist us in developing and delivering group programs that are well-rounded and tailored to meet the specific needs of our community.

It also helps to ensure that we provide programs relevant to the local needs of our clients, and to help develop local services.

Benefits of Group Programs

Participating in group programs can provide numerous benefits, including:

Shared Experiences: Connect with others who are facing similar challenges.
Peer Support: Gain encouragement and support from group members.
Learning Opportunities: Learn new coping strategies and perspectives.
Improved Social Skills: Enhance communication and interpersonal skills.
Cost-Effective: Often more affordable than individual therapy sessions.

Types of Group Programs

Support Groups

Support groups provide a safe and confidential space to share experiences and receive support from peers. These groups focus on specific issues or populations, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.

Therapy Groups

Therapy groups are led by a licensed psychologist and focus on therapeutic goals. These groups help address specific mental health issues and provide a structured environment for learning and support.

Psychoeducational Groups

Psychoeducational groups aim to educate participants about specific topics while providing support and practical skills. These groups can cover a wide range of subjects, helping participants gain a deeper understanding of their issues and how to manage them effectively.

Skills Training Groups

Skills training groups focus on teaching specific skills that can improve participants' daily lives and overall well-being. These groups provide practical tools and strategies that participants can apply in their everyday lives.

Planned Group Programs

ADHD Skills Training Group Program

Our ADHD Skills Training Group Program will focus on helping participants develop effective strategies to manage symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. This includes organisational skills, time management, and coping mechanisms for impulsivity and inattention.

DBT Skills Training Group Program

The Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills Training Group Program will teach participants essential DBT skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Gender Affirmation Group Program

The Gender Affirmation Group Program will support individuals at various stages of their gender affirmation journey. We offer:

General Gender Affirmation Group: For those exploring their gender identity and seeking support.
Pre-GAMST Group: For individuals preparing for Gender Affirmation Medical and Surgical Treatment (GAMST).
Post-GAMST Group: For those who have undergone GAMST and are seeking post-treatment support.

Minority Stress Group Program

The Minority Stress Group Program will provide a supportive environment for individuals facing stress and discrimination related to their minority status. This group will address coping strategies and resilience building for dealing with racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of discrimination.

Mindfulness Group Program

Our Mindfulness Group Program will focus on teaching participants mindfulness practices and relaxation techniques to enhance overall well-being. Mindfulness can help reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and increase overall life satisfaction.

What to Expect

Group Structure

Our group programs will be facilitated by experienced psychologists who guide the sessions and ensure a safe, supportive environment. Groups will typically consist of 6-12 participants and meet weekly for a set period, usually 8-12 weeks.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality will be a cornerstone of our group programs. Participants are encouraged to share openly, knowing that their privacy is respected and protected.

Participation

Active participation will be encouraged, but we understand that everyone engages at their own pace. Some groups programs allow for passive participation, whereas others require active participation and will be a requirement.
