HAPPY HEARTS AND JOYFUL SOULS

For those of you who have been on our Mental Health First Aid trainings you will know that self-care is at the heart of what we do here at This Way up Well Being. We believe we must be goal models, so from taking a break each day for lunch or just  tea with a friend, if  we cannot take care of “ourselves” we cannot look after others so we must put on our own oxygen mask before we can help those who need us and who are vulnerable. Hey, and we all need help at times don’t we.

The “ For me club” is a space for you to find things that will help  you and make you happy, it’s a safe space to relax and learn to release negative thoughts, and feelings and through the techniques we use you can unblock dislodged stress     and trauma and bring about deep relaxation and healing. We offer many different stress relief strategies because we are all unique and as individuals will benefit from a variety of interventions. So come along and find what works for you.

Stress can cause health problems from minor ailments to more serious conditions such as heart disease and mental distress.

The cumulative effects of increasing and unresolved stress lead some people to seek relief by adopting unhelpful coping mechanisms such as drug and alcohol dependency, self harming, risk taking behavior, smoking, work holism etc. All these things affect the individual’s personality, daily functioning, employment productivity and relationships.
