In Time of Covid-19

Are you feeling: Scared, overwhelmed, anxious, unable to relax, under pressure, impatient, sleep deprived, unmotivated, confused, lethargic, apathetic, bored or even depressed?

In any time of uncertainty, we are likely to feel a range of these feelings, but in times of extreme uncertainty we can expect to feel these feelings a lot more strongly.
Calming Strategies was designed to help people become more emotionally resilient in times of uncertainty and we have now decided to offer this course online.

It will be an interactive online course over 4 weeks, 2.5 hours once a week and we hope will make a big difference to how you might be feeling right now or it will give you some additional tools to help you manage other people who may be finding this time really difficult.
