Learning Outcome

You will leave with a toolkit of strategies and techniques to help with anxiety, and an idea of small actions you can take in daily life to increase wellbeing and resilience.

Open, friendly atmosphere. Tutor was very knowledgeable. Session was perfectly paced for a ‘bitesize’ session – still had plenty of interaction and opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues.
