Free online support with mental health at a time to suit you in Bradford district
Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven MyWellbeing College offers a range of learning opportunities to help people manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, low mood or difficulty sleeping, whenever it suits them.
Liz Harney, clinical manager with MyWellbeing College, said: “We recognise that people who are caring for children, working shifts or long hours, often don’t seek help because they worry it will be difficult to fit around their commitments. We want to change that by encouraging them to consider our online guided self-help.
“It offers a simple way to learn how to – even if you’re only able to concentrate for short periods. And we’re now able to offer that help usually within a week of having a chat with you to assess your needs.”
MyWellbeing College is a long-established NHS provider of psychological therapies and uses the SilverCloud online learning tool for guided self-help. The proven programmes are interactive, based on cognitive behavioural therapy principles and overseen by a psychological wellbeing practitioner.
To register for the online guided self-help or find out about other support available, including group online courses and one-to-one therapy, visit the MyWellbeing College website or call 0300 555 5551 and press option 3.
