Posted : (Monday 5th March 2007 ) By - Jane (Registered User)People suffering from anxiety or depression can help themselves to 'beat the blues' thanks to a new computer package offered by Manchester based Self Help Services.

'Beating the Blues', is an eight part computer-based programme which helps people to change the way they think and the things they do to make changes to their feelings and moods. The service is part of a pilot project, which will run until June, and aims to make computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CCBT) more accessible to people living in Manchester.

The sessions, which are organised by Self-help Services, will take place at The Zion Community Resource Centre's IT suite on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2-6pm and on a Tuesday from 4-8pm. The service is available to Manchester residents on a self referral or GP referral basis an is open to adults age 16 and over.
