Self Care training courses

Self care is an umbrella term for all the things we do to proactively look after ourselves. Our holistic approach is evidence informed and recognises the interconnectedness of all the areas of our wellness; physical, emotional, social, behavioural and psychological.

Why Self Care training is important


At some point in our lives our mental health will be impacted by events or stressors. We will come into contact with people who are similarly impacted by stress and mental health issues.

By demystify mental health concepts and encouraging people to talk openly about their emotional state, we can reduce stigma and begin to build mentally healthy workplaces and communities. By doing so we promote connection, empathy and inclusion and create firm foundations for our wellbeing.
