Take your life from good to great with one of our classes

Many people who present with poor mental wellbeing freely admit that they do not recognise the symptoms of, for example, stress or anxiety and they become overwhelmed by their impact on their lives. This can and does lead to a reliance on prescribed medication and/or substance abuse. Our classes enable participants to learn a wide range of means of identifying, reducing and removing stresses and in doing so enhancing resilience.

Do you want to feel less stressed?

Would you like tips and techniques on how to reduce stress in your life?

Are you coping with negative life events at present?

What will we do?

What will we look at?

Why Classes?

A key factor is that participation also affords the opportunity to socialise which reduces social isolation which is quite often a cause of poor mental wellbeing.
