What can I expect?
This is an educational class, NOT group therapy. You won’t be asked about personal problems or be expected to speak. You will be taught about stress and ways to help yourself.

Does it cost anything?
Although the course is free to attend, there is also a useful and supportive handbook and CD which costs just £5.00.
Can I bring someone with me?
