Read moreA chance to take a break from the day and come together for a mental health check-in and learn new ways of supporting yourself and others
Winter 2023 has been a challenging time for us all – from the impact of the cost-of-living crisis during the winter months, public sector strikes, coupled with the rising pressure of successfully delivering Big Local plans and planning for legacy and closure – managing stress and the need for support is greater than ever.
With this in mind, Local Trust is holding the March Keep Connected on Mental Health and Mindfulness as a chance to take a break from the day and come together with the Urban Mindfulness Foundation for a mental health check-in to learn new ways of supporting yourself and those around you, if you can.
We will be covering an introduction to mindfulness, the chance to undertake a short practice and learn some tips about how you can incorporate mindfulness practice in day-to-day life and through times of stress to build personal resilience and wellbeing as well as an opportunity to come together for peer support and connection.
Keep Connected with Big Local is your monthly opportunity to network and connect with other Big Local areas and Local Trust.
