What is a webinar?

• A webinar is a live online event delivered by 2 therapists on Microsoft Teams
• A webinar is a workshop designed to provide and teach techniques for managing specific mental health struggles, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• A webinar is informal, friendly and interactive!

What can I expect from a Mental Health Webinar?

• 1hr30 sessions each week for 5 weeks
• On average 50 participants in a group
• Weekly relaxation practice at the end of each session
• Flexible times – we have morning, afternoon and evening webinars to fit your schedule
• Confidentiality – you will not be able to see or hear other participants, and they will not be able to see or hear you
• Support – the facilitators are on hand to answer any questions or concerns in real time
• Shared experience – while the webinars are confidential and there is absolutely no expectation, you can share your thoughts, questions and answers with other participants anonymously if you would like to: you are not alone in this!

 

How can I get the most out of it?

We want you to get the most out of our services, we recommend:

Materials

Each week’s session will be supplemented by a booklet containing all of the information covered and lots of activities for you to do to practice your new skills at home
