A computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy programme called ‘Beating the Blues’ is now available at East City Library at MANCAT (Openshaw campus) on Tuesdays from 2.30pm to 6.30pm.
‘Beating the Blues’ has been approved by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) for the treatment of mild to moderate depression. Furthermore, there is evidence to show that it benefits those who are experiencing stress, low mood and anxiety.
There is no charge for this service and you do not need to know how to use a computer. It is not necessary to be referred to this service by a GP or mental health professional as we accept self-referrals although your GP/mental health professional can also refer you to the service if this is easier for you. If you would like more information about this service or would like a referral form, please contact Nic Seccombe, cCBT Services Manager at Self Help Services cCBT Service on 0161 232 7854 or mailto:ccbt@selfhelpservices.org.uk.
