1. An interest in mood, mental health and cinema/theatre as therapy for depression and anxiety.
2. Additional materials. It would be handy if you had a pen/paper with you in case you wanted to make a note of the website links or even the key points of a lecture. Also, perhaps the phone numbers of your friends. There may be key lectures you wish to bring to their attention, or perhaps you just feel now is a good time to chat.
3. Appropriate mindset. This course is not a loss leader. This is a course aimed at helping reduce depression. So the mindset I would like you to bring is simply – spread the word, in a sense we all have something to gain.
4. As there are links given in the lectures you should be able to use the internet – make sure you have anti-virus software that is up to date!
5. Specific software. No specific software is required – if you can access this then you can access the course
6. Access to a printer as there are numerous extension activities and questions which, when completed, make up a workbook
