Mindfulness course: Wednesday evenings
9 October 2024 at 18:00 to 20:00
This eight-week course combines mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioural techniques to help reduce low-mood and anxiety. There is increasing evidence that this eight-week mindfulness course is effective in reducing other mental health issues and improving wellbeing and resilience.
Overview​
The course helps participants develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and experiences which in turn helps cultivate resilience and reduce depression and anxiety. This mindfulness course was designed originally to help people who experience repeated episodes of depression to prevent relapse. However, it is now recognised as an effective treatment for existing mild to moderate depression (not just preventing relapse) and also helps improve wellbeing and resilience.
When?
Wednesday evenings, 6pm-8pm, starting 9 October to 4 December 2024.
