NEW! Career Exploration Skills Group

 

An 8-week group for clients who want to address career concerns.

Our new Career Exploration Skills Group, is an 8-week group designed for Emily Program clients who are ready to discuss issues that address their career concerns. Clients who benefit from this group tend to be those who have addressed their Eating Disorder use and have maintained some level of stability. This group would greatly benefit individuals who want to start a career or make a career change as well as individuals who are currently unemployed and seeking assistance with career decision making.

This group will:

  • Use an interest inventory, personality assessment, and values exercise to increase self knowledge about how these aspects of self fit into your career choice.
  • Use career resources to learn about different careers, educational requirements, salaries, etc.
  • Have weekly assignments to keep clients on track with their career progress
  • Discuss how to navigate your career using insights you gained through your recovery process
  • Explore  and process your career choices and whether those choices are the best fit for who you are now
  • Challenge  eating disorder thoughts that get in the way of recovery and being passionate about  career possibilities
  • Address fear of change and the unknown
  • Teach and assist with networking skills through role playing exercises

Questions? Want to join? Please speak with your individual therapist.
