Workshops & Courses 

Workshops and courses are created and facilitated by staff and volunteers with personal experience of emotional distress.  They are an opportunity to think about and understand yourself better, and to develop skills and resources to support your emotional wellbeing.
The workshop programme is currently on hold, pending further funding.    We hope to be able to offer a new programme in the Autumn.
We welcome ideas for new workshops as well as which ones you'd like to see repeated.  You can complete our survey here or   contact us  with ideas or to register an interest in workshops.
