Mental Health Group Workshops
SignHealth will be running workshops covering different topics. This is not group therapy. We will teach you different techniques and tools in how to manage situations, including stress, sleep difficulties and trauma.
Workshops will be held for 4, 6 or 8 weeks, depending on the topic. SignHealth therapists will be running the workshops. Most will be online via zoom, with some face to face options, and each workshop session will be about one hour long.
The aim is to help you to manage your situation, giving you tools to support your mental health.

This workshop is suitable for those who have fibromyalgia or are suspected to have fibromyalgia.
The workshop will last 5-6 weeks and focus on how your symptoms affect your daily routine, your sleep and activities. We will give you some tools to change your life, how to manage pain, how to improve sleep, and how to improve activities in different ways.
We do not diagnose fibromyalgia, but we will educate you on what is fibromyalgia and how to manage yourself to improve your quality of life.
If you are interested please refer to our service and then we will do an assessment for fibromyalgia.
Trauma Workshop
This is suitable for those who have been through a difficult time, expecially if you cannot forget and it bothers you now and emotionally affects you. It can be linked to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
This workshop will focus on what is trauma, what is PTSD, how to cope with difficult memories, and how to cope with flashbacks. We do not expect you to tell us what happened to you in the past. This is more for you to learn skills in how to cope. There are only four sessions.
