Dear all,
As we have been introduced to new friends at ASAP I thought that the Mood
Gym site might be of interest. We have already discussed it at ASCC. It is
essentially a gratis CBT site, which enables you to track your progress as
you work through a series of modules. It could prove useful.

All the best to everyone,
Vanny
