My Meds, My Life

My health and me

Mental health medication can be a lifeline — but it can also raise questions, concerns and side effects. Everyone’s experience is unique, and understanding how your medication works is a powerful step toward taking control of your wellbeing.  The topic of medication however is not always easy to understand or talk about.  Whether you’re currently taking medication, have done in the past, or are simply curious, this two-week course offers a welcoming and safe space to explore how medication fits into your life and recovery journey.

With the help and support of SWYT’s own Pharmacy Team and Peer Worker, Laura, together we’ll look at the most commonly prescribed mental health medications; how they work, their benefits, and potential side effects. We’ll also explore the social side of medication; the stigma that can come with it, how to build supportive networks, and where to turn for help when you need it. You’ll have the chance to reflect on your own experiences, take part in group discussions and activities, and learn how medication can be included in tools like A Plan for Living Well

This insightful course offers the chance to ask those questions you have wanted to but weren’t sure where to go and is designed to empower you with knowledge, confidence, and connection.  So don’t delay and book on now.
