Workshop aims to help you calm fears, anxiety

Do you struggle with worry or anxious thoughts? Are these thoughts affecting your day-to-day activities, your job, or your family? Are you looking for a way to calm these negative thoughts and become a more positive person? TriCity Family Services can help.

TriCity Family Services will hold its six-week "Thinking Good, Feeling Great" anxiety workshop from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Mondays, Sept. 29- Nov. 3, at the TriCity Family Services office, 1120 Randall Court, Geneva.

Throughout the course of the workshop, participants will learn effective cognitive tools to reduce feelings of worry and anxiety, change negative thoughts to positive ones, and create a calm and happy mood throughout their lives. TriCity Family Services' clinical therapists will facilitate this workshop based on the works of Aaron Beck and Dr. David Burns.

The "Thinking Good, Feeling Great" workshop includes a free assessment before admittance into the group. Cost for the workshop is $40 per session ($240 total) or, as with all TriCity Family Services programs, a sliding-scale based on need. The workshop also may be covered by your insurance.
