Are you currently experiencing depression? Have you had depression in the past?
Are you stressed by parenting or caring for someone with mental ill health or a learning disability?

Attending a mindfulness course may help…
Mindfulness is a particular way of paying attention to the present moment and can help us become more aware of our thoughts and emotions.
How might the course help me?
Many of us spend time brooding about the past, or worrying about the future, and being hard on ourselves. These habits are difficult to control and often leave us feeling low or stressed.
Mindfulness can help us to see things differently. It is a way of helping us to pay attention to the present moment, so we can bring awareness and acceptance to things as they are.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps us to notice and understand the links between our thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines these two powerful approaches. It is a great way to understand the patterns of the mind and learn to work with these patterns in a new way.
