What people say about Living Life to the Full and how it's helped them

“I found the course to be very helpful. I still use the CD, DVD and reread sections of the work book when I feel my negative thoughts are occupying my mind.”
Read Sam's story

"I'm more assertive, not using self harm as a means for coping so much, problem solving instead of letting stuff get to me"

"It has... helped me deal with difficult aspects of my current life, as well as recognise negative patterns that I've had for a long time and implement techniques to change them"

"It was very uncomfortable to attend this course initially but the practical knowledge I have gained has been fantastic. My understanding of how I feel and my ability to change my mood/thoughts is immense"

"the staff delivering [the course] were lively, motivated and never patronising"
