Does anyone know ?

Hi just wondering if anyone knows about these 6 week courses run by the nhs , my friends mum did one on stress etc and it covered panic etc , coping techniques , visualization etc. It was either for stress or depression . Cant seem to find info on it I think it was called "Livingwell" and run through hospitals , i guess you would have to go to the docs and be referred but I was looking for info online.

many thanks

Hi Cupcake,

I did a 6 week course on Anxiety Management which really helped me. Mine was ran by the local Mental Health Team and I was referred by my CPN.
Hope this is of some help.

Hiya

I work for a local Mind association and we also run these 6 wk courses under the banner 'Coping with life'. They range from self-esteem to living with anxiety and depression and have very good feedback so I can only assume they work!

If you visit www.mind.org.uk (http://www.mind.org.uk) you should be able to find out if there is a Mind assocation near you that offers these or similar.

Btw they are free!
