Description
The Five Ways to Wellbeing (devised by the New Economics Foundation) is a very simple practical framework which addresses five key areas of life which have been demonstrated to promote positive mental health and wellbeing. We have run this as a 5-week course in previous years and are now adapting it to offer an introductory workshop to consider the five themes of learning, connecting, keeping active, giving and taking notice, and how we might implement these in our everyday lives and habits.
Following this, we will offer a series of standalone sessions and workshops which focus on one or more of these themes. These may be sessions run by the Recovery in Mind team, or other partner organisations such as Sport in Mind, The Volunteer Centre or the Watermill Theatre, and are an excellent opportunity to access some of our great local community resources.
These sessions will be open to all students who have attended either the introductory workshop or our previous 5-week course. We have found the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ to be a very useful follow-up to ‘Welcome to Recovery’. It may also be helpful for students who wish to revisit the concept and refresh or develop their wellbeing practice further.
You are welcome to book on to as few or as many of these follow-on sessions as you like, to suit your own needs. We hope to run a variety of these ‘linked workshops’ at different times throughout the year. They will be practical and fun, often involving getting ‘out and about’ in accessible local venues.
We look forward to you joining us on our Five Ways to Wellbeing journey!
