FOR
WELLBEING

FOR PRACTITIONERS
We believe everyone has valuable personalised resources from their unique lived experiences. By unlocking this potential we utilise the knowledge of both our highest and lowest points to help us remember what matters to you.
​
We help who knows you best, when you need it most.


FOR
WELLBEING
As human beings, how do we remember our coping strategies even when we’re not at our best?
Participants will walk out of the session with a ‘wellbeing toolkit’ they can use during times of struggle or compromised mental health.
Because we often forget our owns strategies for wellbeing, this interactive workshop will give participants the opportunity to design their own tangible and personalised toolkit they can easily access.



As practitioners, how do we perform even when we’re not at our best?
Participants will walk out of the session with a ‘Practitioner toolkit’ for immediate day-to-day use.
Participants craft their toolkit by exploring their unique ingredients for effectiveness as a practitioner. Cue cards and practical reference material will be created based on self-reflection and group discussion activities.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Ben’s activity I think would be extremely useful to students to have something fun and tangible that helps them to understand themselves and their peers better

Sometimes it's easy to know the things when you're not in a high stress situation, so having that physical reminder is such a good idea and super comforting because it's bringing that past moments of clear thinking into future moments.

I think Ben's activity was brilliant, I think it's a way not only to cognitively prepare for self care throughout our forum and beyond but also a tangible reminder of that self care is extremely useful
