A four-day mental health and wellbeing programme for people who want to feel more in control, build confidence and move forward.
Sometimes life becomes difficult to manage.
You might feel overwhelmed, anxious, low in confidence, or simply stuck. Perhaps something has happened in your life that has knocked you off course. Or maybe you know that something needs to change, but you’re not quite sure where to begin.
The YOU Programme helps you understand yourself better, learn practical ways to manage your thoughts and emotions, and start making positive changes that can improve your everyday life.
You don’t need to have a mental health diagnosis to take part. You just need to feel like things could be different.
What Is The YOU Programme?
The YOU Programme is a supportive, practical learning programme delivered over four live online sessions.
We’ll explore how our minds work, how thoughts and emotions can affect the way we respond to life, and how we can build greater awareness and control.
We’ll also look at fear, decision-making, habits, change and wellbeing, while introducing practical tools and approaches that you can use in everyday life.
The programme is about understanding, learning and doing, not simply talking about problems.
You’ll have opportunities to reflect, learn from others and try out different wellbeing practices, while deciding for yourself what feels useful and right for you.

What can I expect?
The YOU Programme is delivered live online using Zoom.
The programme includes four sessions, each running from 9:30am to 2:30pm, usually spread across two weeks.
The sessions combine:
- accessible learning and discussion
- peer support and shared experience
- practical wellbeing activities
- opportunities for reflection
- tools and strategies you can use in everyday life
- simple approaches to help you make positive changes.
You’ll have the opportunity to learn from others, but you won’t be expected to share anything you’re not comfortable sharing.
You are in control of what you choose to talk about.
Is the YOU Programme for me?
You don’t need a mental health diagnosis to benefit from YOU.
People come to us for all sorts of reasons. You might be experiencing:
- anxiety or low mood
- stress or feeling overwhelmed
- relationship difficulties
- bereavement or loss
- stress at home or work
- unemployment or worries about your future
- menopause or other significant life changes
- low confidence or self-esteem
- difficult thoughts, emotions or behaviours
- pain or other ongoing challenges
- or simply a feeling that something needs to change.
You don’t have to identify with any particular label.
If you’re finding life difficult, want to understand yourself better or feel ready to take a positive step forward, YOU could be a good place to start.
Ready to take your next step?
You don’t have to change everything at once.
Sometimes the first step is simply deciding to try something different.
If you’re ready to understand yourself better, build your confidence and start making positive changes, we’d love to welcome you to Impact.
