Oftentimes, it is advantage to be part of a group while learning to figure out the nature of problems like stress and anxiety which are common as well as effective strategies for dealing with them which can be learned and practiced together in a group setting. For example, parents who deal with similar problems in children or students who deal with similar academic stress can work out effective solutions in supportive group environment. Besides, any of us who aspire for more peace and happiness, or improved ability to regulate our emotions, or strengthen our inner qualities of resilience and compassion can benefit by working together in a project of personal growth. For example, in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) program, participants learn effective stress management and emotion regulation skills as well as systematic procedures for fostering happiness, emotional wellbeing and higher quality of life.
