This new course developed by Occupational Health and Wellbeing Services is designed to help you gain a better understanding of your low mood and focuses on improving your motivation. The course is a psychoeducational group and is facilitated by a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. You will learn how to build a productive and varied routine that will create a sense of purpose and achievement in your life. You will be supported in tackling activities that you may have been avoiding – a common feature of low mood. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to manage your mood and build a balanced and rewarding lifestyle.
Aims of the group:
- Understanding depression symptoms and your cycle of low mood
- Help to manage lack of motivation
- To identify and start to build a rewarding routine to help break the cycle of low mood
- Adapt how you approach activities
- Help to overcome obstacles and make activities more rewarding

This is not a support group, it is a psychoeducational group which aims at providing you with better understanding of your mental health and alternative ways of coping to improve your overall wellbeing. You will be encouraged to share/participate, but there is no pressure to do so.
You can express your interest in joining the group using the registration link below. You will then be booked in for a telephone assessment with one of our team to confirm the course is for you.
