HOPE Programme Returns to Exeter

A new six-week HOPE (Help Overcoming Problems Effectively) Programme is launching in Exeter for people living with chronic pain, fatigue, low-level anxiety and depression who want to make positive changes in their lives.

The free self-management course brings together people with shared experiences, offering practical support and encouragement in a welcoming group setting.

Sessions will take place at the X Centre in Exeter on Mondays from 1pm to 3:30pm from 3rd August to 14th September (No session will be held on 31 August due to the Bank Holiday).

The programme is delivered through the HOPE initiative in partnership with local health and community organisations across Devon.
