All of our groups at Brave Young Minds are online/virtual skills groups that meet weekly at a set time. The goal of the group isn’t to share your deepest secrets with strangers, but rather to learn about anxiety and the strategies to manage it according to scientific research. Members are invited to share how these skills work in their own lives, and vulnerability is strongly encouraged but not required. Before starting group therapy, members will meet for a brief intake interview with Dr. Vivyan to make sure group is a good fit.
