About This Service
We all have times when our mood is low, and we’re feeling sad or miserable about life. Usually these feelings pass in due course. But if the feelings are interfering with an individual’s life and don't go away after a couple of weeks, or if they come back over and over again for a few days at a time, it could be a sign that they are experiencing depression.
The course will help individuals understand the signs and symptoms of depression, explore the impact on their day to day lives, and offer practical, do-able tools, tips and techniques that will help individuals take steps to their recovery.

How Are The Courses Run?
Where possible our courses are run face-to-face at our Russell Street premises in Kettering. But we also run some virtually as well.

They have been designed and developed by individuals who have lived experience of mental health problems.
There is strength in numbers. The advantage of being with others is that everyone has a chance to learn from each other. It is like a fondue party – the more you dip into the pot, the more you get out.
If you are anxious about being with others, remember that they probably feel the same as you.
