Wellbeing Workshops for Organisations

Wellbeing Workshops

It can sometimes be challenging to look after ourselves, sometimes we just don’t know where to start, or perhaps we need some fresh ideas and a bit of accountability. Manchester Mind has developed a selection of wellbeing workshops to encourage self-care and promote positive wellbeing in the workplace, and in your personal life.

These sessions are a great addition to mental health awareness, line manager training and mental health first aid.

The following workshops have been designed to be practical and experiential.

• Mindful Eating Workshop (face to face)

  Food is one of the pleasures of life, but quite often we eat mindlessly, eating while watching tv or looking at social media and not even noticing what we’re eating or how it’s tasting. In this interactive session, we’ll talk about the importance of being in a relaxed state when we eat, do a couple of mindful eating/drinking meditations, and give you an opportunity to reflect on how eating more mindfully might impact on you and your food choices

• Anxiety and How to Calm the Nervous System

  This workshop builds an understanding of what anxiety is and the response it has within the body. It then introduces some calming techniques and some ways to challenge anxious thoughts to manage feelings of anxiety.

• S.A.D. Seasonal Affective Disorder

  Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression that some people experience during particular seasons or times of year. However, many of us can feel a little lower during the winter. This workshop will outline the signs and symptoms of S.A.D., give you some tips and tools to keep you motivated throughout the darker months, to regulate your natural body clock, and to help ease those winter blues.

Other sessions can be available – we have a range of expertise for mental health, wellbeing, and children and young people. Please let us know if there is a topic you’d be interested in that isn’t listed above as we’re keen to adapt our offer based on organisation needs.
