Carers courses on complex emotional needs

5 February 2025

Join a six-week course that aims to provide carers with information to build their understanding around complex emotional needs.

Complex emotional needs might mean that the person you support has a formal diagnosis of personality disorder, or they might have similar experiences, for example, emotional intensity, unstable self-image, or risky and impulsive behaviours.

The following six week sessions will be held in 2025:

Spring: 19 February - 26 March (Wednesday) 6-8pm
Summer: 4 June - 9 July (Wednesday) 6-8pm
Autumn: TBC

To join one of the courses, please email spft.cen.east@nhs.net and provide your name, a contact number, and indicate which course you would like to join, or let us know if you require further information.
