Beginning March 26th in West Hartford, Connecticut, USA
Are you taking one or more psychiatric drugs that you have decided you want to withdraw from, or are thinking about possibly withdrawing from? Have you already started to come off medication but are finding the process to be more challenging than you thought it would be? If you want to get better informed, centered, supported and prepared before you forge ahead, this workshop is for you.
Over the course of ten weekly 90-minute in-person workshop gatherings, you’ll learn valuable steps that you can take to help get yourself optimally situated for a smoother, more sustainable psychiatric drug taper. You will explore your relationship to psychiatric drugs, develop strategies to optimize your support systems and prescriber relationships, troubleshoot common stressors and challenges, and much more. Through readings, journaling, discussion, meditation, and reflection, you’ll leave each week feeling increasingly rooted in yourself and ready for the road ahead. You’ll also be connecting regularly with others on the same journey as we collectively create space to share our personal experiences and perspectives and build connections and support systems that can last beyond the confines of the workshop.
WHEN
Tuesdays from 5:30-7PM, beginning March 26th and ending with our final gathering on Jun 4th, 2019. (There is no session on April 9th due to the local school holiday.)
