Group sessions: Riding the waves, Drains and radiators

To support your psychological wellbeing, we have developed two new group programmes to replace the Resilience- Topping Up the Tank sessions. Both options are delivered virtually and initial dates for 2023 have been confirmed. The aims of each programme, dates and booking information, are outlined below.

Riding the waves

In this session you will think about your own stress response and identify areas for development. Together, we will explore what causes us stress and provide self-help tools and tips to help us rebuild after a stressful period in our lives. These sessions provide a non-judgmental and holistic look at all aspects of stress, including our natural response, individual levels of resistance (resilience), burn out and building on personal resistance.

Aims:

• To think about our own stress and identify triggers
• To know how long-term stress can affect us
• To feel confident in being able to manage our stress with better coping mechanisms
• To change the way we think about stress
• To explore potential barriers and come up with solutions

The session duration is approximately 2 hours and is hosted on Teams.

Drains and Radiators

These shorter sessions explore the stressors in our life (Drains) and the things that bring us happiness and joy (Radiators). We will focus on how to limit the amount of time our drains can affect us, and how to cope with them productively, whilst identifying and encouraging you to invite more positivity into your everyday life.

Aims:

• To identify things that cause us stress, and burn us out
• To identify things in our life that we enjoy and bring us happiness
• To discourage the invitation of negativity
• To encourage the invitation of positivity

The session duration is approximately 45 minutes and is hosted on Teams.
