Dealing With The Menopause

In 2012, on a typical workday, if you had asked me ‘So, what do you do…?’ , I would probably have made some excuse up and left the room without answering.

The thing is, I knew what I did, I knew the answer, I’d been doing it for a while! 

But the Menopausal and Perimenopausal Brain Fog I had started to experience, totally and utterly stopped me from remembering some pretty basic stuff, like names, places and what I did for a living!

Brain fog and mood shifts, migraines and a raft of other symptoms descended upon me like a tidal wave, and I had no idea what to do…

At Impact, we have created the free Unlock Menopause course to help, support and guide women struggling with any of the three stages of change.

The course examines the facts, busts a few myths and empowers women to talk openly, honestly and work together to find what makes a difference to managing symptoms and improving the quality of health and wellbeing for every woman.

The Unlock Menopause course is held regularly, check out the dates below.

If you are struggling and want to know more about how you can help yourself, sign up and we’ll see you there, or give us a call for a chat. ????

Sorry, we don't currently have any dates available for this course. Please see our course calendar for other courses

An Impact Mental Health Success Story

Impact just received this lovely message from a learner who attended and completed The YOU Programme in February, 2023.

Just a quick note to let you know that sadly I won’t be able to attend the “Your Recovery Pathways” programme.

Reason being, I have been offered a job! Of course, I am super excited but also gutted that I will miss the programme. I was very much looking forward to it!

I wanted to thank you SO very much for all the work you do at IMPACT and for us, individuals.

As you know I have suffered with poor mental health since a very young age and have gone through a lot of counselling etc

However! I have to say that the YOU programme I did with you recently, has had more impact (excuse the pun, but I guess you couldn’t have given your support group a better name), than any counselling I have ever had.

It really gets you deep! No waffle, straight to the point (with care and sensitivity of course) and for me it has made my spiritual side come back. This links perfectly well with exercises such as meditation, manifestation, etc.

I feel more positive about the short-term future. I don’t want to look too far ahead, or I will lose myself. I want to work on small periods of time to begin with. Easier to manage and control.

I even enrolled on a 3 month course to understand and help children with mental health, in schools for example.

How much I have learnt from your programme has been priceless for me and the biggest gift I could ever wish for!

THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU – From the bottom of my heart!

Do keep up with the amazing work that you do and if I can be of any help, do let me know!

If there are currently no courses available or none with dates that suit you, please get in touch using the form below and we can let you know when the next courses will be available.

Finally, whatever your plans and abilities are for this festive period, ‘good cheer and merriment’ have more impact when we take good care of ourselves.

Find regular time to check in with how you are feeling, and if at any time it feels uncomfortable, ask yourself, ‘do I like these thoughts or feelings?’ 

If the answer is No…

  • Stop what you are doing, 
  • Observe what’s going on around you by using all of your senses, 
  • Breathe, slowly, deeply and calmly for three minutes…
  • Evaluate the situation using logic and problem solving skills,
  • Respond carefully and safely…
  • Simple, effective and a great way to safely get through the festivities!

With best wishes,

Impact Mental Health

A New Option For Learning

At Impact, we do our best to provide courses to all those who want to learn how to manage their thoughts, emotions and overall well being.

Self Study Mental Health Courses

We know it can be tough with other commitments and responsibilities, work or otherwise.

That’s why we are working hard to create self-study courses that enable people to gain new knowledge, learn in a measured way and still receive guidance and support from the team.

If you or someone you know is finding it difficult to commit to being live online with us and would benefit from self-study, please get in contact with one of the team to discuss your chosen course and how we can help.
