If the answer is yes, there are two different projects, being delivered virtually over Zoom, open to those aged 18+ living and working in Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland: 

Virtual 'Wellbeing' Sessions

These sessions aim to introduce you to practical, easy to use, skills that can help to reduce stress and increase your ability to manage difficult emotions, anxiety and low mood.

Drawing on the NHS recommended ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ we will help you to use ‘life hacks’ and tips to live a more healthy and positive life. These include:

• Breathing and focusing techniques to help calm and centre
• Simple mindfulness meditation practices to focus and quiet the mind
• Visualisation techniques to increase feelings of wellbeing
• Movement and posture activities that can calm and settle emotions and ground you
• Learn how self compassion and self acceptance can be a key to wellbeing

You will be offered resources to take away and practice to help strengthen these skills.

When

Every Sunday 10am-12pm and Thursday 6.30pm-8.30pm from August 2 - October 11, 2020  

'Mindfulness Plus' course

Over 16 weeks, participants will be taught Mindfulness techniques aimed at learning to focus and quiet the mind. Simple guided exercises show participants how to increase feelings of calm and wellbeing.

The course will progress to include various other mental health applications, such as Emotional Freedom Technique and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy you can use in your own life and work. This course is particularly helpful for professionals looking to learn new skills and knowledge to share with others they may support.

When

Every Monday 5.30pm-8.30pm and Wednesday 1pm-4pm from 10th August - 25th November 2020
