How the online psychological training programme works

The online training programme consists of various modules related to mental health. To start off, you answer questions about how you’re currently feeling and your life situation. The online programme is subsequently tailored to your specific needs.

You’ll learn more about negative thought patterns, emotional stress and depression. Various exercises will help you to understand and question your behaviours and thoughts.
