Due to high demand, we are delivering our successful confidence raising course for the seventh time (please read the feedback from previous attendees). The course will run 4 times within the month of November and will be held at Consett Business Park, Villa Real, Consett. Demand for places is high.
Marnie Ramsey, Mental Health Employment Specialist, will be delivering the event, which focuses on the following key areas Confidence & Self Esteem, Assertiveness, Negative Beliefs & Positive Thinking, and Goal Setting.
“I think it is vital that people can get the basics right before they can even look at their route back to employment. I am hoping to move people on a little. My ultimate aim is to support people into paid employment. I am also working to support people to make positive changes in their lives. To get out more, to do voluntary work, to do part time work or permitted work. Basically just to widen their horizons and improve the quality of their lives.” Marnie Ramsey (Mental Health Employment Specialist)

TESTIMONIALS – comments from our previous course attendees
“Very therapeutic. I feel the best I have felt in six years of psychiatric and psychological treatment. I wish I could have attended these sessions when I first felt ill, and I probably would have been back to work by now! I would highly recommend this course to anyone and hope to continue using what I’ve learnt to further improve. Thank you kindly”.
“I have enjoyed this course very much. I have different views on how I see things now and this course has done this for me. The teaching staff have been very, very good and helped and listened to everyone and everything. I didn’t want to start this course but now would recommend this course to all. Thank you.”
“Really enjoyed the course, very informative and realistic, comments, advice. A couple more sessions for feed back would be good. Really well presented by Gary and Marnie.”
“It was a fantastic course! I could have had a few more sessions, came out with some useful skills to combat low self-esteem and depression.”
"I have really enjoyed the course, meeting new people, thinking about new ideas, expanding my comfort zone (which is always a challenge!) I will miss coming here on Fridays. I also enjoyed the lovely food and coffee!"
"Found the course very rewarding and it has been very positive in changing my lifestyle. Feel different in myself and more confident now. I am determined to get a job more than I was before."
"This course is very insightful. I have 3 appointments today after this course, but I don’t even think I would consider making the appointments if I had not done the course. It has definitely helped me feel confident and not as scared of the outside world as I was 4 weeks ago. It definitely helps knowing that other attendees were feeling similar or just as scared as I was. Thank you."
"I was not sure what to expect before I came to the course, but have been very pleasantly surprised!! Gary & Marnie are two very caring and supportive people and have certainly given me back the self esteem that I had lost on life’s highways. I feel very positive about my future and how I will go about it. I feel I am back on track!!!"
"I feel that the group sessions have been invaluable for me to cope through what has been a very turbulent time in my life. I leave the course with a renewed confidence and self belief that I can achieve virtually anything that I set my heart on. Thank you for this opportunity and for all the words of wisdom. I am a changed person."
"A real enjoyable course. Course recommended to anyone, lots of situations explained, and how to overcome them and how to get better thoughts and achieve better results. Gary & Marnie put you in a comfortable state of mind. Very helpful and effective in what they do and say. Thoroughly enjoyed the past four weeks. Going home with a positive attitude. Hope it continues to benefit me in the future. I will carry them with me always. Thank you"
"I liked this course with Marnie and Gary. I would like to do the course again
