Interested in how to improve you wellbeing?

Thinking you don’t have time to support yourself?

Do you ever wonder why other people seem to handle things differently to you?

Do you wish you could bounce back quicker?

 

Resilience has become a widely used expression within mental health and physical health over the past few years.

 

We will explore the meaning of resilience; the impact it has on our lives and some steps we can take to build our personal resilience.

Do you find it difficult to get to sleep?

Do you often wake feeling unrefreshed?

 

You’re not alone: more than a quarter of people in the UK report that they struggle to get to sleep at least once a week, and for some, experiencing poor sleep once a week would count as a success.

 

In this course, we will look at what can help improve our chances of getting a good night's sleep, including the benefits of sleep hygiene and why sleep is essential to our health.

Thinking about keeping a journal, but don’t know where or how to start?   

Would you like the opportunity to explore different journaling techniques?

 

In this course we will introduce you to journaling as a tool for wellbeing. We will learn that journaling is much more than just keeping a diary and can bring a range of benefits to our lives. You will experiment with Bullet journaling, Gratitude journaling and visual journaling to give you a taster of what journaling could look like for you.

Heard a lot about mindfulness but don’t know where to start?

Mindful Spring

Have you tried mindfulness but haven’t found what works for you?

Would you like some simple but effective ways to find a sense of calm?

 

You might be busy with spring cleaning, buying chocolate or getting ready for the next school holidays, but we all need some time to relax and recharge. We are offering three sessions where a tutor will lead you through a variety of mindfulness exercises and activities to give you new ideas of how you can be more present in your day-to-day life.

 

Each session will be different so you can come to one, two or all of the sessions and try out a new technique each time! Come along and give yourself an hour a week to have a more Mindful Spring!

 

Mindful Winter

Does it feel like you don’t have much time to slow down and be present?

Have you wondered what you could do to be more mindful other than meditation?

 

The winter season can be a very busy time for us all! Between buying presents, visiting family, and cooking delicious food, we don’t get much time to stop and relax. We have three sessions where a tutor will lead you through a variety of mindfulness exercises and activities to give you new ideas of how you can be more present in your day-to-day life.

 

Each session will be different so you can come to one, two or all three sessions and try out a new technique each time! Come along and give yourself an hour a week to have a more Mindful Winter!

Why has modern society become so disconnected from the natural world? 

 

How does nature help our wellbeing?  

 

We will explore the benefits of nature in this unique course and stimulate our thinking about the ways we can reconnect with the world beyond ourselves to improve our lives. 

 

1 Session

This is a Peer Support group session, to facilitate an informal conversation about all things mental health.

 

Talking about mental health does not need to be awkward and you don’t need to have your own diagnosis of a mental health challenge to join us …. just an interest in mental health and a desire to look after your own mental wellbeing.

 

There will be tea and biscuits and an opportunity to speak openly about mental health as well as hear other people’s lived experience and their tips and techniques on how they maintain their mental wellbeing. Peer Support Workers will be on hand to facilitate the discussions in a safe space.

 

‘Let’s be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives.’
