Our Overcoming Anxiety and Worry course helps you understand the effects of anxiety on your body and techniques you can use to overcome it.
This course is specially designed for women who speak Arabic or Urdu and is delivered by trained Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners who work with an interpreter.
It’s also an opportunity to meet others who may be feeling similarly to you, although the session is not group therapy and you will not be asked to share your personal experiences with others.
The course is free and runs for five weeks, with a two hour online session each week.
