Often volunteers who are doing friendly visiting encounter older people suffering with low mood or depression.
This session will look at some of the root causes and aim to give volunteers information which could help them work through some of the difficulties older people experience as a result of low mood and depression.
Berni Murphy who is the current Chair person of “Sheffield Mind” and a Lecturer in Social work at Sheffield University will be leading the sessions
There will be 2 sessions (with the same content) The first one will be from 1.30pm until 4.00pm and the second session will run from 7.00pm to 9.00pm (with a shorter break).
They will be held at: The Norfolk Room, Central United Reform Church, Norfolk Street, Sheffield, S1
In order to run the session we need a minimum number of people to attend, we would be really grateful if you could confirm which session you are planning to attend by Wed the 21st of October at the latest. You can contact us on (0114) 2797929.
