We’ve got a new set of our Wellness and Recovery Workshops starting on Wednesday 12th November running online via MS Teams. These are an evening set of workshops, aimed at those who are working and unable to attend during the day. They take place weekly for 6 weeks and participants should aim to attend all sessions.
 
The Wellness and Recovery workshops are great for anyone over 18 with mild mental health difficulties or those struggling with their mental wellbeing. We work through a Wellness and Recovery Action Plan which helps attendees to identify their triggers and early warning signs and supports individuals to use healthy coping strategies to manage daily life. These workshops are peer led and as such we encourage participants to share their experiences.

Now’s the time to share those powerful stories. Join a fully funded filmmaking workshop and social media campaign as part of the Nurturing Grassroots Programme, and learn how to capture and share real stories of connection, love, and coexistence.
