Live well with depression
Barnsley Recovery and Wellbeing College, 33 Gawber Road, Barnsley S75 2AH
Understanding my Mental Health and Wellbeing
Sometimes the simplest things can be the hardest. Minor tasks such as getting out of bed, answering the phone, making decisions; what to eat, what to wear, what to watch or even leaving the house, all can take major effort.
That’s one of the many pitfalls with Depression, easy becomes complicated and the everyday becomes exhausting. This course is not about stopping Depression, but it may help you to develop new ways to manage it better.
In this course, we will give you practical information and useful tips to help live your life well with depression. We will also offer you a different perspective on depression. This course has been informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approaches.
