The course was devised by Dr. Jim White, a psychologist in Scotland. Courses have been delivered, very successfully, throughout Ireland. The course provides information and suggestions about managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, panic and poor sleep. The course is delivered by lecture to a group and hand-outs and relaxation CDs are given out free. People do not talk about their individual circumstances and there is no writing in the class. This course can help enhance everyone’s’ mental health. Everyone is welcome.
