We understand that people can be nervous about joining online groups and discussing mental health issues. So, we’ve put together a course spotlight to make things a little easier when you’re deciding which of our courses will be best for you.
Resilience is the ability to cope with the challenges, problems and set-backs we face in life, and to become stronger because of them. It relies on different skills and draws on various sources of help, including rational thinking skills, and a persons relationship with those around them and themselves.
Self-care and being mentally healthy should be important to each and every one of us. Although there are many professional support strategies available, self-care can make a huge difference in helping someone manage and improve their mental health. Self-care advice can include: Being active, getting enough sleep, eating healthy, relaxing, de-stressing, avoiding drugs and alcohol and making time for yourself.
Being assertive means being honest about your feelings – in a way that’s respectful to others. Being assertive can help you express your feelings, speak assertively and can help manage conflict with others. It can build your self-confidence and improve relationships in every area. A lack of assertiveness may contribute to depression and anxiety.
Our Resilience, Self-care & Assertiveness 4-week course looks at the ways you can become more resilient, helping you to recognise the strengths that you already have so that you can take better care of yourself.
This course will cover:
This course is aimed at those who find it difficult to say ‘no’ and those who struggle to care for themselves whilst caring for others at the same time.
It’s okay to put yourself first before others at times when you need it most.
“Really helpful course- good to reflect and hopefully will give me the tools to make some positive changes. Course tutor, Dominic, was very inclusive, kind, knowledgeable and made participation easy – he has a way of making talking in the sessions less scary!”
