This course is intended to support general wellbeing and is not a substitute for mental health treatment where this may be required. It is not always a good idea to attend mindfulness training at times of particular difficulty in your life. If you are not sure whether this is the right time for you please contact the course tutor for a discussion about this and talk it over with your GP or any mental health professionals who may be involved in your care.
