Good questions
What format are the guides?
Every Academy guide is a PDF ebook. Workbooks and printables are PDFs too, laid out so you can fill them in or print them.
How does the download work?
It's an instant digital download. Straight after checkout you'll get an email with your download link, and you'll find it on your order page too. No waiting in for the postman.
What's the best way to read them?
They're designed to be read on a tablet, where the pages look their best. A laptop or computer works well too, or you can print them.
Can I print them?
Yes. Print the whole thing, or just the trackers and checklists you want on the fridge.
What if my mood is very low?
Please don't wait. Call 999 or go to A&E now if someone's life is at risk or you do not feel you can keep yourself or someone else safe. For urgent help, call 111 and select the mental health option. You can call Samaritans free on 116 123, any time of the day or night, or text SHOUT to 85258. If low mood is affecting your daily life, see your GP. Sources: NHS, Samaritans and Shout.
Is this medical advice?
No. Our guides give you general information and practical tools, not a diagnosis or treatment. Please talk to your GP or a healthcare professional about your own symptoms, and before you start, stop or change any treatment or supplement.
Speak up. You're worth it.
Bring your notes, bring your questions, bring a friend if you like. You deserve to be heard.
