MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
In spite of the increase in information regarding mental health, significant stigma around this continues to exist. In this workshop we explore:
- The signs and symptoms that should illicit concern;
- Pathways towards getting help;
- Supporting others that may struggle with mental health issues; and
- Everyday changes that can be implemented to manage stress and avoid burnout.
MINDFULNESS AND FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE IN LIFE
Mindfulness as a tool can lead to greater enrichment in life along with increased performance and stress reduction. The course will entail the following:
- Understanding the concept of mindfulness, and setting the mindset for mindfulness practice. Perceptions are key to mindfulness – we explore the perceptions of the self, the world and ingrained assumptions in relation to each of them;
- Mindfulness exercises – this aims to train the mind to focus on the present. We practice ways of implementing mindfulness in everyday life so that mindfulness becomes a lifelong commitment as this is when it is most effective; and
- Exploring the concept of radical acceptance – this involves developing a mindset to cope with distressing emotions and thoughts.
EMOTIONAL REGULATION
The workshop focusses on understanding emotions and learning to manage them effectively. When emotions feel overwhelming, an individual can experience symptoms of anxiety, difficulties with anger and relationship struggles. In understanding and learning to regulate one’s emotions this workshop aims to empower individuals to feel more in control of their emotions and their lives and to manage their relationships with greater effectiveness. This workshop draws on tools from dialectical behavior therapy.
