World Mental Health Day takes place on Thursday 10 October and this year’s theme is “it’s time to prioritise mental health in the workplace.”
To mark the occasion, the Devon Wellbeing Hub are hosting two webinars during the week.
To start the week, Anna Croucher, Senior Colleague Wellbeing Practitioner, will be running a ‘Keeping Well at Work’ session on Monday 7 October, 2-3pm.
Anna said: “When we think of mental health we often think about mental illness, however taking practical steps to boost our health, wellbeing and contentment is something that should be on all of our agendas.
“This hour long workshop is geared towards providing you with practical tools to keep well at work. Drawing from different approaches including CBT, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Training and positive psychology, you will have not only the space to consider your own wellbeing but some techniques to boost it.”
Come and meet some members of the Hub team and find out more about the wellbeing support on offer during this webinar on Thursday 10 October, 11:45-12:30pm.
The session will begin with an introduction from Christina Greenland, Operational and Clinical Lead for the Hub. Prue Yeoman, Colleague Wellbeing Practitioner, will then talk about our individual support, and Jody Merelle, Psychotherapist, will discuss the support we provide for teams. Jez Brown, Lead Chaplain, will also be joining to explain our offer of pastoral care.
The session will conclude with a grounding exercise led by Anna. The short practice will help you step out of the busy working day and reset for the afternoon.
Both sessions will take place on MS Teams and all colleagues working in healthcare, social care, the police and VCSE organisations across Devon are welcome to join.
