Mood Lifters - Online- Palliative Care
15 weeks to a better version of you!
Once a Week: Same Day, Time & Place
Mental Wellness for Parents
Mood Lifters is proud to present a mental wellness group supporting parents of chronically ill children. Thanks to a generous sponsorship from Elizabeth’s Courage Fund at Mott Children’s Hospital, Mood Lifters in partnership with the Stepping Stones Pediatric Palliative Care Team is offering 15 weeks of Mood Lifters at no cost for those qualified.
Many parents’ first response might be, “I don’t have time to take for myself!” Or, “my needs are not as important as my child!” As they say on airplanes, it’s essential that you put your oxygen mask on before you help others. We believe that parents of chronically ill children deserve emotional support to help cope with all the stressors in their lives.
Evidenced-based = It Works
Mood Lifters was tested in a randomized control trial, the gold standard for scientific research. Participants show statistically significant decreases in depressive and anxiety symptoms and negative emotions.
Our Strategy. Your Strength.
Each week, your group will discuss the latest science related a specific topic. After learning about the topic you will apply this knowledge to set your goal(s) for the upcoming week. Over the next 7 days your “homework” is to practice your goals - the secret to your success - because practice makes perfect and habits don’t change overnight!
Peer Power
All groups are led by a specially-trained peer leader - a previous program participant who wants to help others experience the same life-changing success. Ongoing research proves that our peer leaders are just as effective as professionally-trained providers.
You are not alone in this journey - 8-15 other parents will join you every week! While each will have their own unique challenges and concerns - you share a common goal - to live a happy and healthy life! Support from your group is just another ingredient in the recipe for improved mental fitness.
