Giveaway started: 12 May 2015

What's this about?

This week (11 - 17 May) is Mental Health Awareness Week (#mhaw15) and to mark it, we've teamed up with the Mental Health Foundation to give away 100 free online Mindfulness courses. If you don't manage to get one, it's available for £60.

What to do

If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:

"Be Mindful"

To do this you need to join the Forum (if you haven't already, when you click reply you'll be taken through the process. It's free, of course).

APPEAL: Please ONLY reply to this thread if you will check your private messages next week.

Bear in mind 300 names are being picked and there are 100 courses (because sadly not everyone gets in touch, so doing it this way helps to speed up the administration process), so you'll have to get in quick.

Also, please DON'T email in, as your name won't be counted, nor include your contact details in this thread as, for your own safety, we don't allow personal details on the public forum so your post may be deleted.

This giveaway appears in the weekly email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips) and will close at 3pm on Monday 18 May, so please get your posts in before then.

The giveaway has a strict one entry per household policy and entries can be deemed ineligible without any explanation or notification.

About Mental Health Awareness Week and Be Mindful

Every year the Mental Health Foundation helps raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing issues.

Since its first Mental Health Awareness Week back in 2000, the Mental Health Foundation has helped generate public debates around how anxiety, sleep deprivation and exercise can impact our mental health.

In 2015, it's focusing on the theme of mindfulness. Find out more about Mental Health Awareness Week by visiting the Mental Health Foundation website and downloading its supporter kit.

More about the course from the Mental Health Foundation

The Be Mindful course was created so that anyone, anywhere, can easily and effectively learn to practise mindfulness in daily life and enjoy the benefits.

No matter where you are, or whatever your lifestyle - you have access to one of the best and most highly recognised online mindfulness training courses available anywhere. You'll be trained by Ed Halliwell and Tessa Watt - two of the UK's leading lights in mindfulness today.

With a structure that's easy to follow and at a pace that suits you, the course will guide you through core elements of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

With commitment, in as little as 4 weeks you can be practising mindfulness in daily life, bringing many potential benefits including reduced levels of stress, depression and anxiety.

Visit bemindful for more information on mindfulness and bemindful online for more information about the Mindfulness course.

Also, check out MSE's Mental Health & Debt Guide which features tips on what to do about debt when unwell, working with banks, free debt counselling and much more.

How will the people be chosen?

300 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and a private message will be sent to each of their winning usernames requesting their USERNAME, FULL NAME and ADDRESS details (there'll be an email address to send this information to, we don't want it done via private messages).

The FIRST 100 people to get back to us will get a free course.

When will I get it?

It will be sent out electronically once all 100 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take several weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt.
