I saw your post on Friday and thought it might be useful as I'm feeling more stressed because of what's going on. I researched it and found it and the course leader have really good credentials (supported by industry bodies such as the nhs) so watched the video today.

I was very impressed, there wasn't much I didn't know already (I have been through various interventions to improve my mental health, and it was only introducing stress as a concept) but it was well delivered and even though this way of delivering the course is brand new, it's polished and includes useful reference to the coronovirus.

They are re-running the session this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening and hoping that people like me will share it as a useful resource. Please see the website reference in the original post above.

Thank you so much for sharing the information @Lady Kelly
