Living Well Workshop
2024-05-28 14:00 - 15:30
Exploring your own identity and exploring stigma
– provided by Kensington and Chelsea Mind Peer Support (in person)
Living Well Workshops provide a safe and supportive space to develop skills and knowledge to manage the stresses and difficulties in your life as well as to improve different aspects of your life.
Each session is different, covering a variety of subjects related to your wellbeing. Learn alongside peers who may be experiencing similar difficulties.
Living Well Workshops are facilitated by peer support and other staff, all of whom have lived experience. A small number of them are facilitated by CNWL Talking Therapies staff.
Living Well Workshops have been developed from the award-winning Mind booklets for Mental Health series covering topics such as: Getting a better night’s sleep, Self-care for anxiety, Food and mood, Dealing with Stress and Five Ways to Wellbeing. Additional topics have been created based on feedback from individuals using our services about what you want. As a result, we have added topics which aim to enable you to:

build and maintain relationships
maintain personal boundaries
combat negative thinking
manage rollercoaster feelings
and more.

The workshops are limited to 15 people per session to ensure time for group and individual discussion and active participation, including learning from each other.
Living Well Workshops are available to anyone registered with Community Living Well Peer Support.
For further information or to book your place, contact Sonja on 07932 452 463 or sonja.jansli@wclmind.org.uk

One2One Peer Support: in person, online or by telephone
2024-07-01 00:00 - 2024-07-07 00:00 | Online
Meet with a peer support worker to talk through emotional challenges and share coping suggestions. Talking helps, but not everyone is comfortable talking in a group and even if you are, sometimes it’s nice to be able to talk to someone on a one-to-one basis. When you’re talking with a peer you are with someone who is equal to you, not a professional therapist or counsellor. It’s someone who can put themselves in your shoes.
Appointments for One2One Peer Support are available throughout the week and can be accessed by referral through the Community Living Well website
