Helping you to feel better quickly
Our courses can help you to start feeling better straight away by giving you information about depression and anxiety and showing you useful techniques to help you overcome your problems. You won’t have to speak in front of others if you don’t want to, members of our friendly team will lead the way by giving talks about depression and anxiety which explain how to deal with them. All you have to do is attend to each meeting, listen to the talks, and then practice what you’ve learnt at home.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we had to suspend our face to face courses and have moved these online for your convenience, we hope to return to offering you the choice of face to face courses when it is safe to do so.
