The New Beginnings course helps people with mental health issues to develop the confidence to take more control of their lives by looking at subjects such as ‘What is mental health?’ and ‘Reinterpreting our beliefs about mental health’. Participants learn simple but effective skills to manage issues they may encounter in everyday living, like managing anxiety, being aware of relapses and what triggers them, and putting together a strategy for dealing with these setbacks. The course is run by trained facilitators who have experience and an understanding of mental health conditions.
