ICAN Information

Our ICAN anxiety and depression support program (ages 18+) is designed to help you learn skills to control, face, and deal with anxiety and depression-based challenges. You will learn life-skills to use daily, to help you overcome and deal with major life stressors. The program is based on a Cognitive Behavioural approach, which changes negative ways of thinking and behaving. The program skills provide new, more effective ways of thinking and behaving. Those who stick with the program and complete it report life-changing results with improved daily performance, social and family relationships, and increased confidence.

You can find more information about our ICAN program on our website: https://strongestfamilies.com/ican-ages-18/

"The ICAN: Conquer Anxiety and Nervousness program has taught me many skills which I can put to use in my every day life. With these life skills, I am able to prepare myself for stressful situations in a healthy way. It has helped me prioritize my mental health and has brought me one step closer to my life worth living."
