Living life to the full
Article Abstract:
The Living Life to the Full project set up in 2005 and originally developed by Dr. Chris Williams, is led by Marie Chellingsworth, a mental health nurse trained in the delivery of guided cognitive behavioural therapy who works at the Broad Street Center in Nottingham. The project is designed to help people learn the skills to better equip them to deal with their difficulties in the future, and is based on the 'five-areas-approach' that looks at the impact of anxiety or depression on the five key areas in a person's life and how these interlink.
