Counseling Workshops May to July

Increasing awareness around mental health and reducing the stigma in taking steps to seek support is of major importance to the Community Center Shanghai (CCS), and beginning in May, we will be launching monthly Counseling Workshops in our Pudong and Minhang centers as well as a new central downtown location.

Locations:

CCS Pudong Center: 3/F, Building 3, 1146 Biyun Road, Jinqiao, Pudong

Downtown Partner Location: House 95, Lane 133 Shangwen Road, near Henan Nan Road, Huangpu

CCS Minhang Center: 2/F, 360 Xinle Road, Huacao, Minhang

Our monthly Counseling Workshops led by CCS Clinical Intern Karli Rowland, aim to demystify counseling and talk therapy so that we can begin to share knowledge and information about specific mental health issues that are relevant to our community. These workshops will include a range of topics related to anxiety and stress management, addictive behavior and ways of coping as well as skills to help promote healthier mental and emotional well-being. 


 

Each session will be delivered for 90 minutes, are open to those aged 16 years and over and are free to attend but do require registration. Each workshops will hold a maximum of 16 people.

May Topic: Addictive Behavior



Managing our behavior can be a challenging part of human life especially when this involves substance use or actions that are more difficult to adapt and change. As we know that addictive impulses and behavior can be genetically inherited and or learned, beginning to make changes in these parts of our lives can require much support and guidance. Come along to learn more about what addictive behavior clusters are and how we can begin to make positive changes in our lives surrounding these.
