Carers course on complex emotional needs

30 April 2024

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

Do you support someone with a personality disorder or emotional intensity difficulties? 

Our Complex Emotional Needs team are offering a six-week psychoeducational course which aims to provide carers with information that builds their understanding around complex emotional needs (CEN).

CEN 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.

We understand the importance of providing space for carers to learn more about the difficulties your loved one experiences, as well as connecting with other carers to share experiences and improve your own wellbeing.

The following 6 x weekly sessions will be held in 2024:

  • Summer: 3 June - 8 July, on Mondays, 6-8pm (please note change in date from those previously advertised)
  • Autumn: 24 September - 29 October, on Tuesdays, 6-8pm

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