Are there inclusion / exclusion criteria?

Age: 18+

SUICIDALITY: Suicidal thoughts are not an exclusion criteria, however participants must be at low risk of acting on these thoughts.

EMOTION REGULATION: The Mood School aims to be relaxed and positive, but it is expected (and completely OK) that strong emotions can arise from time to time. However, given the course is facilitated by a solo clinician, there is no capacity to provide 1:1 support during or after classes.
