There are many ways you can keep your mental health fit and well, just as you would with your physical health. Having a healthy mind, and recognising what to do if you start to have difficulties with your mental health, can help you to avoid getting into a crisis. Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. We've got help and advice, however you're feeling.
This course is run by Talking Therapies Service at Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. It provides an opportunity for people who are autistic and/or people with ADHD, to learn more about their individual neurodivergent challenges.
It does not matter if you are diagnosed, or self-diagnosed.
Attendees can learn coping strategies and build a better sense of self-compassion. The course takes place over 8 x 2 hour sessions held fortnightly.
