for Mental Health Awareness Week
Lots of things can lead to feelings of anxiety, including relationships, starting a new job (or losing one) or other big life events. We can also get anxious when it comes to things to do with money and not being able to meet our basic needs, like heating our home or buying food.
During Mental Health Awareness Week, our range of face-to-face and virtual short courses are centred around anxiety, in all areas of life, to increase awareness and understanding of the issues, and provide practical ways to prevent it from becoming a problem.
In addition to the virtual open courses below, we can also arrange bespoke training sessions for your organisation throughout the week. Please contact us to arrange.

As we grow more aware of humanity’s impact on the planet, more individuals are experiencing “eco anxiety”. In this session we look at the definitions of eco anxiety and ecological grief and what we mean when we talk about anxiety. We learn about using our worry to fuel action, and the language of resilience. We also explore practical actions if we feel we are experiencing eco anxiety.

With the increases in the cost of living, many of us are under increased financial pressure. Good financial wellbeing is when we feel secure and in control of our finances. The aim of the session is to gain an understanding of how poor financial wellbeing can impact our lives and how we might react to financial stress. We look at strategies that can be used to support individual’s own financial wellbeing, or to use as guidance when talking to colleagues/friends who may be struggling.
This short session provides you with a self-audit of why and how you react to change and how to reduce your anxiety. By the end of the session we will look at what change means and how it impacts your mental health, how you fit in the Adoptive curve and tips, resources and tools to help.
This session has been designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and toolkit to look after your own wellbeing by delving into the world of psychology and the benefits of changing the way we think when feeling overwhelmed. We will look at why we react in certain ways when faced with multiple setbacks, how we break the negative cycle of emotions and how we can use our language to help look at situations in a new way.
This workshop is specifically designed for people in the community who may have contact with a person after a diagnosis of anxiety, and who want to offer other options of support additional to those prescribed by a doctor. The session explores what anxiety is and its main causes, practical tools and signposting to other support options.

Looking after our digital wellbeing isn’t as simple as putting our phones away – it’s important that we understand that technology can enrich our lives, but that we learn to use it in a way that is beneficial rather than harmful. This session looks at the impact of poor digital wellbeing on both our physical and mental health and what we can do to protect our digital wellbeing in the workplace, at home and when using social media,
