Who is KAŠTAN for?
The programme is tailored primarily for people with experience of psychotic illness. However, if there are spaces left, we are happy to welcome clients with other mental illnesses.
What will you learn with us?
Chestnut isn't just theory, it's practical training for your brain and social skills.
It has three main pillars:
- Emotional Detective: we learn to recognise emotions in ourselves and others. We will learn how feelings relate to specific situations and how to interpret them correctly.
- Critical Thinking: We will strengthen our ability to not be fooled by our first thought and learn to think about things with perspective.
- Training for life: At the end, we will connect everything. We'll take what you learn in the safe environment of the group into the real world to make your daily encounters with people more enjoyable and confident.
The methods of the program are not random. They are based on proven therapeutic orientations such as integrative psychotherapy, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and cognition-focused therapy. In addition to social skills, KAŠTAN "strengthens" attention and logical reasoning.
