SHIFT self-help program

麻豆传媒 Counselling Services offers an on-line self-help program for students experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, depression, and/or stress.听听 It's called SHIFT, Self-Help for Improving Feelings and Thoughts.听 听

This is a free program which consists of a series of on-line interactive modules, developed to help students learn methods of coping and reducing distress.听 This program was developed at 麻豆传媒 and evaluated in a recently completed controlled clinical trial, which found that students who used the program experienced significantly more improvements than students temporarily in a control group.听听听 The program is for students who are experiencing mild to moderate emotional distress; but who are not experiencing suicidal thoughts nor experiencing symptoms of bipolar disorder, an eating disorder, an addiction, or psychosis.听听 Participants will need to be admitted into the program by a "program coach," who will monitor their progress and answer questions about the program via weekly e-mail and/or brief telephone conversations.

听The Mindfulness Group is for students who would like to learn and practice being aware, present, attentive and focused.
Mindfulness practice involves paying attention on purpose with compassion, non-judgmentally, fostering kindness and
compassion toward self and others. (Jon Kabat-Zinn, 2004
Cultivating Mindfulness by learning how to pay attention to present experiences "can directly improve the functioning of the body and brain, subjective mental life with its feelings thoughts, and interpersonal relationships". (Siegal, 2007)
