You can find out more about these courses here \n\n\n\nNot for clinical or crisis care\n\n\n\nWe offer these drop-in sessions to support your mindfulness practice\, to allow you an opportunity to try out mindfulness and build a sense of community. \n\n\n\nDuring the session\, please be prepared to have your camera on. If you feel distressed or unwell after a practice\, please let the teacher leading the session know and\, if appropriate\, your GP or a clinician working with you. \n\n\n\nIt is not advisable to do these mindfulness practices in the heat of a crisis\, when it would be important to access your GP or your designated mental health clinician. \n\n\n\nDo contact spft.smc@nhs.net if you have questions about the drop-ins but please be aware that we are not a clinical or crisis service\, and it will not be possible to respond urgently or clinically to emails. \n\n\n\nWhere?\n\n\n\nOnline. We will send a Zoom link once you’ve filled in the form below. \n\n\n\nHow to book?\n\n\n\nPlease fill in this short form to request the links (you only need to do this once). And we will be in touch soon.
