Wellbeing Classes

We all have our own ways of coping with life's ups and downs - the things that help us feel better after a tough day. Our wellbeing classes aim to help you to top up that resilience, or upgrade your coping skills to meet a new challenge.

All of our wellbeing classes are free of charge.

Our Current Wellbeing Classes

Breathing Space

Our Breathing Space class teaches relaxation and mindfulness techniques that can be used any time you feel on edge. You can also learn some of these techniques on our Relaxation Skills page.

In this one-hour session you'll learn:

• An introduction to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: An insight into the links between our thoughts, our mood, how our body feels, and our actions.
• Controlled breathing: To slow things down and feel calmer.
• Progressive muscle relaxation: To let go of any tension you're carrying in your body.
• A brief introduction to mindfulness: To take notice, and be present in the moment.

This session is held online as a Zoom Meeting. This means you will have the option to turn on your camera and microphone to interact with other participants, but it is your choice. You're welcome to simply watch and listen.

Self Care for Carers

Our Self Care for Carers class teaches ways to look after yourself when you look after someone else as an unpaid carer. If you care for a loved one, we hope this session will help you to start to think about your own wellbeing, and be a route into further support if you wish. 

In this one-hour session you'll learn: 

• An introduction to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: An insight into the links between our thoughts, our mood, how our body feels, and our actions.
• Ways to find a balance: Different activities affect our wellbeing in different ways, so whilst it may not be possible to change what's on your to-do list, we will share a technique that may help you to arrange your schedule in a more helpful way for your wellbeing.
• You're not alone: We will keep the session open for 30 minutes after the end, for any participants who would like to stay and chat with each other.

This session is held online as a Zoom meeting, and will be more interactive than our typical wellbeing classes. This means you will have the option to turn on your camera and microphone, and take part in group discussions, but it is your choice. You're welcome to simply watch and listen. 

Note: This class is for unpaid carers who look after a loved one such as a partner, friend, relative or neighbour. We would welcome paid care staff to join our Breathing Space class (see above).
