Well Being Wednesdays

On Well-Being Wednesdays we run ‘LIVING LIFE TO THE FULL’, which is a 10-week Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) based course for people suffering from depression, stress, anxiety and low-mood.
The course is popular with over 250 people attending in the last 3 years. The course is followed by lunch in our Well-Being Cafe. The combination of courses and social interaction has proved successful in building relationships to assist people in moving forward.
Over 80% of the people starting the 'Living Life to the Full' course complete it. The ones who withdraw are starting work or college or CBT is not as useful to their more complex mental health issues, and we refer them on to other services including our Person-Centred Counsellors.
We evaluate the living life to the full course using WEMWBS (Warwick and Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale), measuring people's wellbeing.
