LifeHandle's one and only remit is to ensure the good mental health of both organisational and individual clients.
To this end, LifeHandle offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to individuals and Stress Management Training to both individuals and groups
Are you suffering from dysfunctional thinking or having emotion problems. Do you struggle with depression, anxiety or anger. Do you suffer from behavioural problems such as shopping addiction, gambling or OCD.
Counselling through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is highly regarded as the intervention of choice to help people deal with these issues. CBT is the only form of therapy with scientific proof of its effectiveness.
LifeHandle has treated hundreds of people from Dublin, Meath and Kildare.
In Ireland stress accounts for 43% of absenteeism, and the new Safety, Health & Welfare at Work Act 2005 now specifically protects the mental wellbeing of the employee.
In addition to the stress levels experienced by busy professionals in the normal course of their duties, the current economic recession and the deterioration of people's personal assets are also causing stress. In very uncertain times, basic training in Stress Management can at least help protect your health.
LifeHandle also delivers a course to Community Drug Projects aimed at young adults in recovery from substance abuse. This course teaches self care through stress management and also how to better handle emotions such as anger, anxiety, low frustration tolerance, shame, guilt, hurt and depression.
LifeHandle is currently undergoing FETAC Registration (Oct 2009) so that CDPs can avail of FAS funding for this course in the future. The course has already been delivered to EDIT and the Spellman Centre to great success.
