| Heightened Sensitivity | Having heightened sensitivity can mean you’re a compassionate, thoughtful and loyal person. This session aims to cover what heightened sensitivity is and the current literature around this to understand why and how people are more sensitive than others and why it isn’t a bad thing. This session encourages you to share your story as we hear examples of others living as a heightened sensitivity person and what the professionals say about it. | Choice/Wellbeing |
| Challenging Unhelpful Thoughts | This session will focus on the different unhelpful thoughts we have and the cognitive model of how they might arise. Secondly, we will look at how to identify unhelpful thoughts and how they impact our lives. To finish the session you will work through a case study to practice identifying the types of unhelpful thoughts we’ve looked at so you can apply this to your own life. Throughout the session it is encouraged to share your own opinions and stories. | Choice/Self Perception |
| The Wellbeing Toolbox | A wellbeing toolbox can equip you with essential coping skills, tools and activities to help tackle stress, regulate our emotions and alleviate anxiety and depression. Having knowledge of these skills and practicing them can make us more resilient and able to tackle life’s problems. This is a two part session, we will cover what a mental health crisis is and how we can develop skills to tackle them. Skills covered include the TIPP skill and relaxation techniques. You will develop a better understanding of emotions which arise but also physical symptoms and how they present. The final session finishes on the self-soothe box and how you can create your own. We can support you with this. Improving your health and wellbeing is our main focus at community roots and we hope we can help to develop your skills and become more resilient. | Choice/Hope/Wellbeing |
| The Happy Edit | We are consuming more news, however with negative news being highly accessible it’s important to look after our individual wellbeing. Constant negative news can impact your mental and psychical wellbeing causing lack of motivation and increase personal anxieties. Therefore, it is important to try and counteract the negativity of bad news as positive stories can offer great health benefits and hopeful mood adjustments. This session is split into 2, and covers the impact of negative news on wellbeing, doom scrolling and social media effects before moving on to discuss happy news with examples and management tips to combat negative media. Wellbeing, hope and opportunities are at the heart of the sessions we deliver where sharing stories is recognized as a beneficial wellbeing opportunity. | Choice/Hope |
| Understanding Stress | Stress is a natural response that ensures we are responding to challenges and threats in our everyday lives. Small amounts of stress can be beneficial, however too much stress can begin to affect both the mind and body. Therefore, learning about stress can support our mental and physical wellbeing and prevent us from becoming overwhelmed and burnt out. Within this session we will cover negative stress cycles, signs of stress both mental and physical, before looking at causes of stress to notice triggers. By reflecting on our thoughts and behaviours we can notice where to make small changes, sharing stories is a brilliant opportunity to do this. | Choice/Hope |
