HYNDBURN Long covid peer support programme

What is the Long Covid Peer Support Programme?

This is a Free flexible programme for people in the Hyndburn Borough  with long covid symptoms. Designed to help you manage your Covid symptoms more effectively. Learn to listen to your body and slow down and accept your recovery journey. 


Attend a weekly  peer support group via zoom from the comfort of your home. You will also have lifetime access to  guided videos, and relaxing  audios to help your body systems to recover at their own pace. 


if you’ve had long-term Covid (or as it’s been dubbed ‘long Covid’), like me, you’ll know about the overwhelming tiredness, the

 headaches, lack of sleep, panic attacks and many other symptoms that can seem unexpected that come with this virus. It isn’t a 2 week experience for many.

 

 People who have been on the course found the experiences of other people who’ve had Covid very useful. 

And then, of course, there’s the physical and emotional benefits too – 


We are  holding a series of taster sessions throughout April and early May 2021.  book a place on the online introduction session here.


I’ve experienced the positive effects from taking this programme, as have others, which is why I honed and refined it to share the benefits and help you.


If you are suffering from Long-COVID but are located outside of the Hyndburn area, then please get in to touch to see how we can help you.



I'm Karen Haworth. I'm a long-term Covid sufferer.

The Programme is for you if you’ve had Coronavirus and are experiencing symptoms that are limiting what you can do. 


It’s not a quick fix – it’s not intended to be – but it’s intended to give you relief from the symptoms you’re experiencing, and give you a sense of control and empowerment about your own recovery. 


Please always talk to your doctor if your symptoms are this serious.

How DOES this help?

Yes. This isn’t just my own experience.

Yes. This isn’t just my own experience.

Yes. This isn’t just my own experience.

  You can see examples of people who have been through the programme to read about their stories. You will also benefit from being with like-minded people. People who can relate to what you’re going through – who know that the symptoms don’t end after 2 weeks.  This makes for great support and understanding, both during the programme 

What improvements have people had

Yes. This isn’t just my own experience.

Yes. This isn’t just my own experience.


Eleanor  

"I learnt how to ‘send messages to myself’ to help me slow down. The words Karen uses in the meditation stayed with me and helped me with coping strategies and to manage my symptoms better. "





Jane 

" I was surprised how the meditations helped with breathing. I also found my levels of concentration improved and my sleep patterns. "

Positivity about recovery

Yes. This isn’t just my own experience.

Positivity about recovery

 Those on the programme have reported feeling more positive about their health and recovery too.  



 "Praising my body instead of cursing it.  Having peer support.  "

 

"I did not expect to get such dramatic improvements. I have renewed confidence that I have the tools to recovery fully. "

Others who’d had a different experience of Covid with underlying health problems, were getting relief.

My credentials

Alongside having experienced Covid 19, and knowing first-hand how it side-swipes you, your life and the ‘normal’ you, I have various other qualifications.


In my 20 years of experience in work, I’ve spent five years designing and running meditation groups, I’ve also been a therapist and worked in education for adult health and social care.


I set up the CIC, Brain Health Breakthrough, in 2018 and work as tirelessly as I can to help people who’ve had a brain injury enjoy life. Sometimes that’s with work experience, sometimes that’s coping with the impact a brain injury has.


I extended this work to help unpaid carers as they also experience issues that meditation can successfully treat. During this time I contracted Covid, and have been investigating how to manage this ever since; honing the meditations and approach to create the 8 week course you see here.


Qualifications:

BA Hons Education and Professional Development

Diploma in Transformational Therapy

Rapid Transformational Therapist

Licenced Peak State Therapist

Certificate in Education

A1 Assessors Award: Health and Social Care

You might be surprised to know..

 

I have a BA Hons in Education and Professional Development – in terms of why that is relevant, I know about the best ways to learn and teach. 


I’m also pretty savvy and results-focused. This is about impact and results for me, not something ‘nice and fluffy’ – it has to work.
