About BeWell
The Adult Education Mental Health research is a national
project funded by the Department of Education (DfE).
As part of this research, we are inviting people to complete
short, part-time community learning courses to see if the
courses help you feel more in control of your life by finding
different ways to manage things like not sleeping, stress, ad-
justing to changes in your life and circumstances, worrying,
finding it hard to go out, feeling anxious or sad a lot of the
time.
If you are interested in being part of this research we will ask
you to fill in some mood and well-being questionnaires to see
if you are eligible. If you are, we will ask you to sign a consent
to let us use the information you give us. We will ask you to
fill in the same mood and well-being questionnaires during
your course. Your course will be free.
If the research finds that these courses can help people, then
not only will you be doing something positive for yourself but
you will also be helping others who will get to do the course in
the future, perhaps including someone you care about.
