Courses to support with...

Thank you SO MUCH. I have struggled with sleep for years. I am currently in recovery for addiction and the sleepless nights, frustration and overthinking were a massive trigger for me. I am so grateful my GP suggested this course. Ngā mihi!

I really found the courses helpful, useful and beneficial, I have referred back to them to refresh my learnings and recap information. I also enjoy being able to assess my anxiety levels at an objective level with the questionnaires at the beginning of each course.

Thank you, it helped a lot. The suggested activities were simple, and gave me hope that I could get better. I didn't have the energy to go and read books, so it was great to read your material, and easy to digest with a sad brain.

This course saved me. Thank you.

This was a life saver. Thank you so much. This course helped me so much when I had nowhere to turn to after not qualifying for counselling services via the G.P.

Over the years, I have tried counsellors, but found this course way more helpful. I didn't feel so alone. Thank you very much, and a big shout out to the team who designed the course.

The change within the first week utterly amazed me. A fabulous resource, thank you.

I signed up because I'm learning Sign Language and wanted to get more opportunities to practice. The signers are clear and easy to understand - but what I didn't expect is I really benefitted from the course! I find myself using a lot of the tips and techniques, and it has helped me to enjoy my life more.

Thank you for these fantastic courses. They have really helped me, especially having the stories and illustrations to look at. It's a great way to present the course if a person has learning difficulties. Also great that reminder emails are sent and so much encouragement is given.

I love the resources at the end! I can print them off and have them on the fridge to remind me, as I don't have my computer on all the time. Also, the worksheets are great to help guide through the activities.

I did the course to support someone else. It gave us a good way to talk about what was going on. It was great to follow, good sized sessions, and easy to navigate.

I would like to express my absolute gratitude and thanks for this free course. I needed help and there was so much I could both relate to and use to help myself to stay well. I know I can get support again too with just a click of a button.

I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing work you do. I have completed your Generalised Anxiety Course and I come back to your resources often to reinforce my learning. I appreciate the solid advice and reminders to have realistic expectations.

Absolutely a great course. It helped me a lot. My anxiety went lower straight away after I understood what is anxiety and the ways to manage it.

Easy to use, not too long, and the encouragement was great. It helped me to understand what was going on for me, and gave me practical things I could do to help.

Just a Thought has been incredible. It has given me insights and tools that have made me feel seen and heard. I have found this course more helpful than the people I've seen in person, because of the level of access, and the fact that it is free! Thanks so much for taking the time to put this resource together.

Great initiative acknowledging the significance of mental health and making help easy to access anonymously.

This course took away much of my shame and guilt about how I was feeling. I began to see that it could be managed. I felt a lot more hopeful and less burdened. The course was very straightforward, reassuring, and easy to understand.

The course provided excellent ideas to try out, in a simple but informative way. The presentation was a fun way to do the course.

This course has helped me accept my anxiety. Thank you so much for providing a free course that is easily accessible. It has helped me accept my anxiety and I really appreciate having tools to help me.

The course was fantastic... Really inspiring. It has given me the insight to move forward from anxiety. No longer does it rule my life. Sure, life is a roller coaster, but with the help of this course I have some really great tools in my life to help navigate it.

I found some aspects emotionally challenging, like practicing 'graded exposure' and writing 'worry stories,' but was amazed at how effective they were!

Using Just a Thought was a positive experience and I'd highly recommend it! The course was not challenging - however it challenged me to express how I was truly feeling in a safe space. This eased a lot of pressure for me.

I learned things that were never offered to me in the past through my GP, psychologist and counsellor during in-person appointments. I found this course very helpful. I didn't want it to end!

I love Just a Thought! It's helping me recognise unhelpful habits and give me alternative tools. I find the lessons really thought-provoking. Thank you for this online course. I'm really grateful.

I'm so pleased I did this course. I feel like I now know a bit more about myself and what I can do to get through days where I am struggling, and I recognise signs, symptoms and triggers more. When I had a really dark day I was able to talk myself through it and think about things I learnt on the course.

Last year, I developed severe anxiety, and it became completely debilitating. Since doing this course, I have now started art, kickboxing and yoga classes, I got a new job, and I am now looking for a new home. Before this, I was too anxious to do any of these things.

I would like to thank you for making this course available. I have been told I would benefit from CBT many times, but because it's expensive to do, I haven't been able to get the help. I really appreciate the opportunity to do this course.

I wouldn't have had any treatment if it wasn't for this course, so thank you. My GP referred me to services, but at $180 per session - I just couldn't afford that. Then I found Just a Thought. I liked that it's about education and doing something tangible, and I got to learn on my own. I found this empowering.

I just wanted to say thank you for the great courses you offer for depression and anxiety. I have completed both, and continue to use all the tools in the course to better help my wellness and mental health recovery. Thank you again for all the wonderful resources, it has helped a lot.

The tools in the insomnia course were excellent. Using a sleep diary, getting up if you can't sleep, and going to bed when you are tired but always getting up at the same time were the ones that really made a difference for me.

This course saved me. Thank you.

I was in a very bad place, but all the psychologists around me were fully booked. One of them suggested this course while I was waiting, and it contributed significantly to my mental health improving. I always felt like no one understood what I was going through, but the examples in these courses were exactly what I was experiencing.

I did these courses as a School Nurse looking to use them for our students that are struggling with anxiety and depression. I found it excellent, and a very comprehensive resource. I've already suggested it to a number of students, and I look forward to seeing what impact it will have!

Absolutely a great course. It helped me a lot. My anxiety went lower straight away after I understood what anxiety is, and the ways to manage it.

Great course, love the resources and worksheets - makes it easy to go through things again and again.

Really helpful course, like how it's realistic and evidence-based, set out really well.

Very useful course, with practical strategies to put CBT into action.

The course was all straightforward and gentle. Thankyou for being easily accessible and free!

The course material was well thought out, methodical, and easy to follow. It really helped me develop methods and strategies for managing anxiety.

Thank you for putting together the course. It is just what I need and I have been able to understand my situation so much more. It is great to have resources to use to continue my journey with my mental health.

I'm very grateful for the course being free and easy to access.

I keep going back to the course - there's always something new to get out of it that's good for my mental health. I will go back and do more courses!

I enjoyed learning about the complexities of OCD. The tools and strategies given were enlightening, and I liked how encouraging the course was, with the constant reminders to be persistent, realistic about progress, and not be so harsh on yourself.

What a taonga Just a Thought is - I think this is the answer we all have been looking for in NZ! This course can prevent minimal to moderate mental health issues from snowballing and becoming a "thing."

The tools that Just a Thought have armed me with are extremely useful, helpful and put me in the driver's seat.

This course has been a godsend - Just a Thought has given me my agency back! I have also been helping my daughter stay on track thanks to what I learned in this course.

It was easy to understand what to do, it was all broken down into easy steps, and also the characters in the stories were very believable.

The course content was very relevant to my situation. It made me feel that I am not alone, and helped to ease my anxiety and make good progress.

Very grateful to Just a Thought for making this course accessible. The course shows understanding of what I am going through, and the explanations which are clear and to the point. It also helps me financially too as professional services are costly and have long waiting times.

The course illustrated how I was feeling through the stories really accurately. It helped me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one feeling this way.

I thought it was accessible, had helpful information, and is a great free resource for supporting mental health in the community. After trying it myself I recommended it to a number of people. Thanks for making it freely available!

I love that you can access this course from the privacy of your own home and at your own pace, and I love all the PDF guides that you can access at the end of the course for revision - the 'worry' posters have been super helpful!

I went to a psychologist for sleep years ago, and your insomnia course was not only on par with that, it answered some unresolved questions I had. Really really well constructed. I have recommended to others.

I recommend this course and appreciate that I can return to the information again. It has made a huge difference to my sleep. Thanks for offering the course.

I found that the course was very informative and would recommend it to anyone.

I have already referred it to someone else that identified some of the same symptoms and suggested they consider it.

Sometimes I don't feel like getting up, but having this course available to me on my phone allowed me to work through it from the comfort of my bed. I was able to learn new coping mechanisms that would help me, not only right now, but for the rest of my life. I am so very grateful for this course.

I found it very helpful. I loved the delivery by real people from different backgrounds, based on real experiences.

Because I don't have any support or access to councillors, I enrolled in all your courses and they're helping me so much! I would highly recommend these courses to anyone struggling what I'm going through. A big thankyou from someone who's grateful.

I'm finding it great to think about whether my thoughts are helpful, or are they gonna slow me down. Thankyou you very much for having these resources available and free. I appreciate you!

I think these courses are put together really well, they explain things clearly, and you can use your own situations as examples.

Very informative and inspired me to make a change!

Loved the course. I found all important info, tools and contacts if I needed it. I like that I could do it anonymously and in my own pace, and I also appreciate that it was available for free.

This course was extremely helpful in working through my post-partum anxiety, so much so that I have completely changed my thought process and has made my experience a lot easier. The CBT is life changing and I use it multiple times a day!

This course is a great resource to use and go back and review!

I'm still grateful for the course being available to me and being free of charge
