The Feeling Good programme offers strategies to help people improve their quality of life and how they feel. It focuses primarily on how a person’s thoughts, words and actions towards themselves, others and life affect their mood, but it also includes information on what a person needs to feel good and an approach to manage worry. The content is offered through a 16-page booklet, a 1-hour message and a 5-week individual programme or group workshop.
The 1-hour message is designed to offer attendees an overview of strategies to help them improve their mood and general wellbeing. The 5-week individual programme or group workshop is interactive and more in depth. It offers a range of tools and resources. We also offer tailored programmes designed to address the specific needs of particular groups of people/organisations.

“When you orientate yourself positively towards yourself, others and life, it’s good for others, good for your relationships and good for yourself.”
