The group is designed to help participants:

1. Increase understanding of anxiety and depression, including how symptoms show up in the mind and body
2. Build practical coping skills to navigate distress, regulate emotions, and interrupt unhelpful thinking patterns
3. Develop insight into personal triggers, core beliefs, and patterns of avoidance or overwhelm
4. Improve communication and interpersonal boundaries to support healthier relationships
5. Strengthen self-efficacy, confidence, and resilience
6. Experience peer support in a safe, structured, therapeutic group environment
7. Create a sustainable wellbeing plan for life beyond the group
