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?

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?

What does loss look and feel like to you?

How do we find the words to express what we’re feeling?

 

This is a course that acknowledges loss is a natural part of life and comes in many forms. We will explore different strategies to help us through loss including local and national resources available to all. We will use various models to better understand the process of loss and look at ways of caring for ourselves and others.

(Please be advised that this is not a course solely about grief but rather about the variety of losses we can all experience throughout our lives.)

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.’
