Possil Stress Centre
Introduction
The centre provides a free, holistic and therapeutic service to people suffering from, or at risk of, emotional, mental and physical problems related to stress. The focus of the service is to enable people to manage their stress through treatment plans which may include a range of therapies. We also offer a range of groupwork and learning opportunities which assist people to extend their skills and coping mechanisms towards stress.
In addition to the core services, the centre has a dedicated outreach service working in community venues in North Glasgow, targeting groups who might otherwise be isolated.
An Anxiety Management Programme for people whose lives have been effected by addictions also offers services at outreach and at the centre in Ardoch House.
There is also a programme of Group Work based in Ardoch House which offers learning opportunities and groups which enable people to understand and manage their own stress.
