Group CBT
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) groups are made up of 4 to 9 adults, and youth over the age of 13. They meet in the evening at the Aegis office for twelve to sixteen, 2-hour weekly sessions.

Anyone who is considering joining a CBT group is required to attend a 2-hour, pre-group interview.  The 2 hours may be schedulled consecutively on hte same day or on separate day.  The purpose of the pre-group interview is to come up with a diagnostic formulation and a plan of action that will in all likelyhood, but not always, involve one of the group CBT programs.

CBT Seminars
The seminars are on the topics of various CBT applications. They take place on a Saturday, in luxurious Dunmuir Lodge, and are typically 6 hours in duration excluding 15 minute afternoon and morning breaks, and a one-hour lunch.

These seminars are of interest to people who are considering CBT for themselves, and concerned friends and family members who want to know how to help.  The seminars are also highly relevant to therapists (counsellors, social workers, psychologists, and family physicians) who wish to learn more about conducting CBT in their practice.
