Skills and Learning: Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole are running a Living Well pilot project until the end of March 2016 that allows us to offer FREE courses and workshops. The focus is on self help, confidence building, lifestyle and employability and could offer you the opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills and develop new interests
Courses and workshops include:
- Wellbeing Foundation Course – 5 week courses covering: Connecting to self and others; Taking notice – perception and mindfulness techniques; Keep learning and self management – coping strategies, asking for help; Giving – reconnecting to our values, self compassion.
- Creative Writing

- Art and Craft and many more…
The courses are co-designed and co-delivered by peer tutors with experience of mental health problems. A learner who attend the Positive Impression of Winter workshop said:
“I loved the overall effect of the session. I felt I was in a safe space and was inspired by the tutors and other students. The course did my heart good on every level.”
