Looking after eldery parents

Mental Health and Menopause
Talking Therapies will host an eight-week online course for women who are experiencing anxiety and low mood due to menopause.
The course will provide information and teach skills to help understand how mental health might be impacted by the menopause, how low mood and anxiety is maintained and how this can be changed using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy skills.
This is an online course that begins on Monday 26 February from 5.30-7.30pm. It will continue every Monday, skipping Easter Monday (1 April), to end on 22 April.
