“I felt very strong after the first session, couldn’t explain why but so glad I came back to enable me to accept the opportunity to help myself.”
“Fantastic course, a breath of fresh air. I really benefitted and I strongly believe I have acquired a set of tools and knowledge that will benefit me in the short and long-term.”
“It was really interesting to learn that there are others in the same boat and that I am not alone. Great course!”
“I would recommend this course to anyone involved with mental health. Be it service user or professional… Good information and delivered with a non-school feel. Well done Impact, keep it up!”
The free, one-day a week programme, held over four weeks, teaches people how to manage and reduce negative thoughts, feelings and behaviours, using a wide range of self-management models, tried and tested theories and wellbeing recovery tools.
At Impact, we all have personal experiences and understanding of how overwhelming it can feel not knowing where to turn for help, especially when it feels like no one understands the struggles and challenges of every day simple tasks caused by poor mental wellbeing.
That’s why we have designed a wellbeing peer support programme based on what we believe really works to support people to feel empowered, build confidence using a peer support network and start making positive changes to improve the quality of their health and their lives.
