About This Service
Understanding is the first step towards recovery. By knowing more about our emotions, our unhelpful patterns of thinking, and about some of our behaviours that might keep the problems going, we are in a better position to make helpful changes and choices.
The workshops are designed so you can join at any point in the cycle. Over the course of 6 to 8 sessions, the following topics will be covered:
Why do we feel the way we do?
How can we change the way we feel?
Why do I have these thoughts?
Is there another way to think about things?
Why am I doing this?
Why I am avoiding doing that?
How to solve problems
How to become more assertive
How to become more self-compassionate

How is The Course Run?
This is a face-to-face course held at our Russell Street premises in Kettering.
It runs every Friday 1pm-3pm throughout the year and delivered over 7 weeks with sessions lasting for 2 hours.
It has 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.
Who Can Access Service?
This is a service for adults with mental health needs over the age of 18 years old, whose main residence is in Kettering and the surrounding towns and villages. (Former Borough of Kettering).
Participants must be willing to reflect on, monitor their progress throughout the course and undertake any homework set that will help and benefit their understanding of the topic.
