This course will take about 1 to 2 hours to complete, but this timing will depend on how fast you read and how long you spend on the activities and questions. You do not need to finish the whole course in one go. If you leave and come back to the course you can pick up where you left off.
This course is for education and information only. It does not provide therapy, medical advice, or professional support. If you need crisis support, please contact local mental health services, your GP or telephone 111 or the emergency services.
