A solid 90% of mental health issues stem from the inability to choose where to place your attention. The only activity that I know of that teaches this important ability is meditation. And the only place I know of that teaches it well are the Vipassana 10-day retreats (dhamma.org). They help you by taking away all distraction, giving you a safe, quiet place to practice, and all the encouragement in the world.
