The FSHS selection of group activity services related to mental health consists of StressLess training groups, Depression school and Anxiety management groups. In addition to these, service units may provide other groups as well.

Our group activity approach is practical, offering participants information about challenges related to mental health. Participants learn self-treatment techniques and can share experiences with their peers dealing with similar problems. The focus of our groups is on learning new skills to tackle mental health challenges. Each participant can share their own experiences in the group to the extent they feel comfortable with. All participants are also required to keep experiences shared in group discussions as confidential.

You can apply to some groups using a form in the Self online service. To other groups you will be directed to at a health appointment or by contacting the assessment of the need for treatment team.

Information regarding group activities is updated at the beginning of the autumn and spring semester.
