One of the aims of the Centre for Emotional Health is to produce a range of practical materials and instruments for use by researchers, professionals and consumers. Our principal aim here is to produce materials that will help in the understanding or management of emotional difficulties and are based on scientific evidence.
Money raised from these sales does not go to individual pockets or profit-making organisations. All proceeds go back into the Centre and our associated Clinic to allow us to continue to help people with emotional disorders.
