| Session Title | Session Description | Session Category |
|---|---|---|
| Self-Compassion | Self-compassion involves treating yourself with kindness and understanding when we fail at something, or are hurt. It’s about learning to treat yourself like a ‘good friend’ and this can lead to an increased quality of life and happiness. We will explore self-compassion and its different components, the myths and facts and why practising self- compassion is so important to your mental health. We will discuss the tools which can help you practise self-compassion in your everyday life. We offer a taster session on self-compassion at the LSCFT community Roots and if you want to learn more, you can come our extended 2 part course. | Self Perception |
| Self Regulation | Self-regulation is important for well-being and relationships as you are able to better manage emotions and control behavior. Developing self-regulation is important and such skills can contribute to increased self-confidence, stress management and reduced anxiety. In this session we will cover what self-regulation is and make the connection between thoughts and behaviors before discussing ways to develop self-regulation using things such as mindfulness and reframing negative thought exercises. LSCFT Community Roots aims to better wellbeing in small steps, building up confidence and learning from each other | Wellbeing |
| 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 |
| Understanding the mental health act | The mental health act is a vital piece of law that is used in mental health care when needed. It can be hard to understand what the mental health act is or what professionals are referring to, however understanding your rights is important. This 2 part session will explore the mental health act and some misunderstandings formed by the media. We will cover myths and facts around the law before going on to explore some commonly used sections under the act in mental health care. Person-centred care, advanced decision making and least restrictive care will be discussed before closing with when a section made under the act can end. Community Roots LSCFT aims to encourage wellbeing and provides a range of opportunities to support the community and develop understanding | Wellbeing |
| ME/CFS Support Group | This event is a support group where those living with ME/CFS can come and chat to people with similar experiences and support each other through their journey. By doing this we are reducing the stigma and starting conversations around stigmatized topics |
