Let’s Talk About

Mental Health Awareness

Mental Health Awareness Week is a time when the importance of talking about, and supporting people who are struggling with their mental health is highlighted. Each year I support workplaces with sessions based on building mental and emotional resources, self-care techniques and how to build a personal resilience toolkit.

 

The Self Care Reset; Understanding the importance of balance

This session is focussed on how to build a healthy support system for your mental and emotional health.  So many of us can find ourselves rushing around to get our work done, whilst also taking care of friends and family, and forgetting about looking after ourselves. 

During this session we look at the components of good mental and emotional health and the importance of building your tribe.  We’ll talk about how to build your emotional resources and some of the tools you can use to do this.  You’ll learn about finding balance in your own self-care and caring for others and also how to switch off and give your mind a break when you need to.

The Brain Spa; tools that will help you detox and take care of your brain

For people that might be feeling a bit frazzled or overwhelmed, this 60 minute session will leave you feeling refreshed and back in control. I’ll take you through some tools that will help you to detox your mind and enjoy the present moment, even during busy times in life. You will learn how to take care of your brain to protect your memory and keep you sharp. This doesn’t need to be a one off brain spa. By the end of the session you’ll have the knowledge to be able to run an at home brain spa day to refresh and reset your brain whenever you need it.

The Resilience Top-up; how to understand and build your resilience

Sometimes we can feel depleted and overwhelmed so this session will help you to keep your resilience topped up as you handle life’s challenges. You will learn about building the awareness to monitor your resilience, what drains it, how to top up and when to take action. We look at the foods that can help support you and boost your mood and energy levels. You’ll leave the session with an understanding of how to build your own resilience toolkit to help you remain calm under pressure. We’ll also look at simple stress reduction techniques that you can take away and use whenever you need to.
