Open Is this course right for me?

Relaxation through Mindfulness aims to help people manage a busy mind through understanding the theory and practice of mindfulness meditation. Each week we explore different techniques for different situations, which includes navigating tricky moments, with tips to help manage anxiety and overwhelm. This course is aimed at people who would like to maintain and sustain good mental health and well-being. It is not suitable for those experiencing a mental health crisis or with a severe or enduring mental health consideration. If you have a trauma-related diagnosis, you may wish to discuss this with the course tutor before enrolling. We ask all attendees to take responsibility for their own learning and only take part in activities which feel right for them.
