BRIGHT SIDE COURSES – Taking steps to feeling more positive through learning new skills
The Autumn courses are now available from the Bright Side project, which is offered free by Derbyshire County Council Adult Education Service, to anyone who is experiencing mental health issues, emotional or psychological distress or those feeling socially isolated.
One in four of us will experience mental health issues in a year. The courses are normally 12 hours long, spread over several weeks.
They deliver a rich variety of practical and hands on skills, including dancing, singing, cookery, gardening, dry stone walling, relaxation and arts and crafts activities, all delivered in a small friendly and supportive group.
People with understanding and experience of mental health issues are helping us design the Bright Side project because they know how learning new skills can help.
Additional support will be provided to help you join in, enjoy yourself and move on.
