Enabling Life - Cairns

6 Session Education Course. Develop Personalised Strategies for Your Anxiety & Depression

Started Feb 4
From 1 Australian dollar
Church Hall: St John's Anglican Church, Cnr Minnie & Lake Sts, Cairns

Service Description

Learn about the many different contributing factors to your Anxiety/Depression and develop a personalised plan of targeted strategies to support your recovery. Too often, people are left in the dark about the FULL RANGE of strategies they can use for recovery from Depression and Anxiety. That is what is great about THIS program - it pretty much covers it all. To watch a brief info video: Scan the QR Code image below using your phone or PC camera. Cost: Inquire. Your fee could be covered so it’s free! This program is unique in its approach to Depression and Anxiety: • It is in a workshop format where personal sharing is not required to achieve the full benefit. Some people choose to share their information in order to ask how specific strategies can be implemented in their situation, and the disclosure is respected and handled safely and confidentially. • Covers 30+ potential contributing factors that, in various combinations, lead to depression and anxiety. Each participant develops an understanding of what combination has contributed to their specific experience and the key strategies for addressing each one. • Explores the how-to for changing each of the factors in a very practical manner that works for people who are in the worst of their depression and anxiety, and who find it hard to get started with anything that's meant to help. Participants can take or leave the information according to what’s relevant for them, and they feel that they are not alone in the journey towards rebuilding a life worth living. About how the "Enabling Life" Course runs: • 6 Session Course: Each taking approximately 3hrs/session - running twice a week for three weeks. IMPORTANT: The program is a closed program in that PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO ATTEND THE FIRST SESSION IN ORDER TO CONTINUE. No new participants are accepted after the first session. It is recommended participants to attend all six sessions to receive the full benefit. • Group size is limited to a max.12 people - but typically 3 - 8 people. • Light refreshments (typically fruit, biscuits, crackers & dips) with tea/coffee/water will be served at every session. • We'd love for you to find the right place easily.... so make sure you come to church hall which is in the building behind the church. See the Mudmap image below. Parking is available in the church carpark (within marked spots) or on the street. It's usually not too difficult to find a parking spot. • The hall & toilets are wheelchair accessible.


Upcoming Sessions


Terms & Conditions

All participants must attend the initial session, and ideally all six sessions of the program. If a person does not or cannot attend the first session, they cannot join later as this is closed group. The program is sold as a whole program. If a person misses any session, the full fee will still charged for the attendance. Various funding sources provide coverage for people to participate in this group progam. 1. NQPHN Mental Health Stepped Care (MyndKind) clients - fully funded (free for you to participate). It says $1 on our webpage because we couldn’t select $0. 2. NDIS Participants - proportionate fee according to how many people attend the group program. Max your plan can be charged is $85/session (totalling $510 total). 3. Privately funded: $510 (talk to your health insurer regarding rebates you might be eligible for). Any person registered for the program, who did not attend the first session (and thereby cannot attend the rest of the program), or withdrew their registration with less than 48hrs notice, a cancellation fee of $110 will be incurred. This fee can be waived at the discretion of the presenter if the reason for the non-attendance was sufficiently unavoidable and serious. Anyone who has previously registered but withdrawn is welcome to register again for the same program being offered at a later date. Depending on the funded options available, and the reasons for the previous withdrawal, we will discuss options for funding and co-payments as necessary. Anyone who has previous completed the course but would like to repeat the program is welcome to do so, as long as there are available spaces. Priority will be given to those who have not yet had opportunity to complete the program. Funding for repeat attendance is all by private payment of the person, but will be for a reduced amount of 60% of the Private Fee. People who struggle with paying for this upfront can suggest a payment plan within their ability to manage. When you complete the form, pick the ticket that applies to you. Our Practice Manager will be in touch to confirm your registration type, and arrange the payment according to the rules of each funding source.
