The Anxiety and Depression Boot Camp

These are stressful times, especially for those who struggle with anxiety and depression.  Your church, workplace, family and circle of friends is likely filled with people who are overwhelmed.  I can help. Over the past several years I have developed a concise and powerful workshop to give strugglers the tools they need to address their battle from biological, psychological, social and spiritual "attack" points.   To watch a 2-minute video summary...

This seminar can be presented in one, two or three-hour formats and is designed to equip strugglers with the practical tools they need to quickly move closer to help, hope and healing.  The "Boot Camp" sessions include...

• Your Basic Training and Battle Plan
• Sharpen Your Combat Skills
• The Role of Shame
• Your Relationships, Family and Work
• What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do
• Achieving Final Victory

Here's what "Boot Camp" attendees have said...

• I guess I'd describe your talk as the most comprehensive, yet concise, most up-to-date accurate information I've ever heard on the subject ... and it was delivered in a very engaging way.  I was really impressed and I'm not trying to flatter you - it's clear you're a walking encyclopedia on the subject.
• I've seen a psychiatrist and a therapist for 2 years.  I got more from this 'Boot Camp' than I have from all of the medication and therapy combined...
• I now feel like I'm finally on the road to a better life - afters years of heartache...
• Very useful tools!  I've come such a long way in such a short time.  This really helped me understand my depression better...
• I work in the substance abuse field and was so discouraged I was on the verge of relapsing into drinking myself.  I can thank Mike and this course for staying sober!
• The Anxiety/Depression Boot Camp was an answer to prayer.  I had sought help from individual counseling and other support groups, but Dr. Mike Marino provided me with knowledge that I hadn't received from anyone else.  His program gave a "battle plan" and "combat skills" which helped me in my daily fight against anxiety and depression.  Mike's presentations included useful material, a combination of psychological information and Christian principles.  His compassionate attitude resulted in encouragement and lots of hope.  The Anxiety/Depression Boot Camp has truly exceeded all my expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling with these issues.

Treatment professionals have this to say...

Little did we know that 200 people would come to this Anxiety-Depression Bootcamp!  Our team got sense that nearly 50% of participants were from our broader community.  They had seen this seminar advertised on our marquee or on the website, and had heard about this seminar through the National Alliance for Mental Illness, or by word of mouth.  It really was a perfect presentation, in which you gave so much helpful content, and so much encouragement to all in attendance.  Your presentation gave us more understanding of the complexities of the issues of depression and anxiety; it gave us a sense that we are not alone, and that there are many who struggle; it gave us impetus to think about our relationship with and understanding of God; it provided HOPE that things/life can be better, and we can take a step in right direction; it most importantly, encouraged us to connect with others in safe, supportive community!  Rev. Rachel Hamburger, Trinity United Presbyterian - Santa Ana, CA 

I worked with Mike for 3 years in the clinical setting and we've taught this course together many times.  You won't be disappointed with the results!  Todd Clements, M.D., board-certified psychiatrist, brain-imaging specialist, author and Medical Director of The Clements Clinic in Plano, Texas

Mike's program is one of the most popular and effective in our Care Ministries.  I've seen the changed lives resulting from this 'Boot Camp'...  Jim Golding, Care Coordinator of Mariners Church in Irvine, CA

We are continually looking for course material and presenters that can bring the message of recovery and hope to the many people suffering from stress, anxiety and other mental illness issues. Mike Marino's Boot Camp #1 did exactly that. In fact so good we are bringing him back for another shot. The comments from our last session were "up lifting," "refreshing," "very helpful."   Steve Fryer, Mental Illness Task Force Leader at St Andrews Presbyterian Church - Newport Beach, CA

I've worked with Mike and wholeheartedly endorse this program.  I recommend it tomany of my clients who struggle with anxiety and depression...   Jill Hubbard, Ph.D., clinical psychologist, author and national radio personality

We've had Mike speak at our church a number of times - our people love his content and presentation style...  Randy Moraitis, Executive Pastor of Ministry for the Crossing Church in Costa Mesa, CA

Dr. Mike Marino's anxiety and depression boot camp at The Gate surpassed all my expectations.  Not only was he organized, knowledgeable, and very well prepared, he also connected super well with the audience which opened them up to a great time of questions and answer.  Everyone I have talked to has expressed how pleased they were by attending, how much they learned,  and look forward to more in the future.   Pastor David Bardowell, the Gate Christian Community Center and Church

Finding a resource for Anxiety and Depression is a difficult thing to come by. I have found that the need for information on coping with these disorders has been high. The Boot Camp provided this and much, much more. I would recommend this to anyone who has a struggle or a loved one struggling with Anxiety and Depression.  Jennifer Millard, Program Coordinator at Friends Church in Yorba Linda, CA
