Winter Wellbeing Week - Day Three

Today, as part of Winter Wellbeing Week, we held wellbeing checks at the Country Centre for all staff, volunteers, and people we support to attend if they wish.

Arun Wellbeing provided us with advice, guidance and support to help us make small, realistic changes to improve our health and wellbeing.

Over at MAKE, in Portsmouth, we welcomed 'Beautiful Mind Coach' Hannah! She ran a workshop that helped us understand what 'wellbeing' means and built awareness around improving our wellness. We discussed the symptoms of anxiety and what we can do to understand our triggers. We discussed strategies to manage our wellbeing better. 

In the afternoon at MAKE, we enjoyed a workshop run by Ali from 'Healing Feelings'. Our theme for the workshop was 'happy.' We discussed what 'happy' feels like for each of us, both mentally and physically, and what we do in our lives that makes us happy. We then took 10 minutes to draw 'happiness' (with no pressure on making our pictures perfect)! After our time, we shared our drawings and spoke about what they meant to us. It was great to hear how other people portrayed happiness with their drawings!

Thank you to Arun Wellbeing, Hannah and Ali for sharing your support and guidance today. And thank you to Josh, for the video below!
