In response to October 2010 WMHD, CHIC organized 2 separate workshops to raise awareness about Anxiety and Stress on 4th October and Sleep problems on 6th October 2010. Shirley He, Nurse Operations Manager of CHIC facilitated the both workshops in the form of group works and discussion. Participants were asked to share of their views as to the causes and symptoms of anxiety and sleep problems, and solutions were suggested to manage these issues. The self-guide booklets on Anxiety and Stress, and on Sleep Problems, which are both produced by NHS Manchester PCT were used to help explain help how to self-help to manage these problems. The general feedback from the participants was very good; in particularly, there was a lot of involvement and interaction in the Sleep Problems Workshop. In total over 42 people took part in the two workshops.
