STAIR Group

Skills Training in the Affective (Application) of Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR) (In-Person, six weeks) Originally created for veterans, this program helps persons who struggle with relationship dynamics and emotion regulation. High-stress experiences overwhelm the emotional system, creating both emotional chaos and numbing, undermining our ability to think and act effectively, and disturbing our sense of self and relationships. The skills training and practice introduced in this program are designed to help you leave behind old patterns and develop new interpersonal behaviors and emotion management skills more consistent with your current life goals.
