Radical Acceptance
Tuesday, October 24, 2023 @ 6:00pm - 7:30pm | Asylum

One of our six core values, Radical Acceptance is the theme for this session.

Radical acceptance is the ability and willingness to accept situations that are outside of your control without judging them. It is not approval of a situation; rather it is the active choice to allow unpleasant experiences to exist, without trying to deny or change them, thus allowing oneself to focus on the things that are within one’s control.

Radical acceptance is a skill used in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which aims to reduce suffering and increase distress tolerance. It shifts your focus off what you cannot control (the situation) to what you can control (your response).

Join us every 3rd Tuesday of the month from 6:00pm - 7:30pm at Asylum Climbing Gym.

RECOVER THROUGH RECREATION SESSIONS

POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH PRACTICES THROUGH RECREATION

Our Recover Through Recreation Sessions are designed to complement participants’ separate therapeutic journey. The programs offer different perspectives and outlets than traditional therapy, using recreation, core mental health values, and discussions and reflections in order to provide participants more resources and tools to improve their mental health.

CORE VALUES

With the help of licensed mental health practitioners, our sessions revolve around established core values, essential for good mental health. These values serve as the backbone of our sessions across all of our recreational offerings.

STRUCTURE

In a smaller group (6-10 people), our qualified facilitators use their experience and education to lead and tie sessions into our specific core values, which are rotated each session.

Sessions typically begin with any combination of ice breakers, mindful exercises, etc, followed by a discussion of the sessions’ core value theme for that day.

After the practice, a discussion and reflection of experiences during that session is held, used to teach any lessons learned, and discover new coping tools and perspectives that can be applied to participants' everyday lives and mental health.
