Courses

It can sometimes be hard to ask for help or to acknowledge you are suffering from mental health problems and don’t know where to turn. Many young people are fiercely independent and may feel they don’t want help.

However, our self management courses are a perfect way to get involved with our project and get help as soon as possible. We run self management courses regularly and it is a great way to learn more information about mental health, coping strategies and meet other young people who might be experiencing similar difficulties.

Each course focuses on a particular mental health concern, is around 3 hours long and can run from between two weeks and four weeks. We are currently running the following courses:

Manage Your Mind

An overall look at the types of things that might be affecting your mental health and how you can help keep your mind as healthy as possible. This is our most general course and a great place to start if you want develop your own resilience, meet other young people and get to know the project workers. It is in two sessions of 3.5 hours which are spaced a week apart.
