Here is what to expect from the Life Skills Online programme which you complete through a platform called Silvercloud:

Based on the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), the Life Skills programmes are designed to help participants learn more about how we think and how this can influence our actions in helpful or unhelpful ways.

The Life Skills Online Programme is comprised of eight modules which you can work through online in your own time from the comfort of your own home. You benefit from the support of an Aware trained volunteer supporter for the first eight weeks, who you can choose to share progress with. To get the most from this programme we recommend you complete one module per week for eight consecutive weeks. Your supporter will check in with you online to see how you're getting on with each week's module. After this eight week period, you will have access to the modules to review and reflect upon for up to 12 months.

Feedback from past participants

"Thank you so much. Life Skills Online has made a difference to me and my life. I’ve done many courses in the past, but I’ve personally found this course the most useful. Things are looking up for me right now, and I'm enjoying it, if that makes sense."

“Allowed me to separate and identify issues I cannot fix"

"I thought it made a big difference to me but when my wife cried and said she got her husband back I was blown away, I didn’t realise she felt this way in the first place so it was amazing to know I have changed."
