Core ‘How am I’ weeks allow you/your patients to stop and connect with how you are truly feeling. This can be privately expressed through a guided, fun and creative activity. These are ran fortnightly, and ‘listeners’ are available to talk to privately at attendee’s discrection throughout the session

For staff only sessions (The Therapeutic Hour: Professionals), these are usually Core workshop sessions only (unless requested otherwise to address staff specific problems). We also offer you additional engaging, fun, yet relaxing, activities.

The aim is to facilitate unwinding and de-stressing, after/during the working day. We expect you to see improvements in:

Mood/Overall well-being

Concentration/Focus

Morale

Productivity

Empathy and kindness to staff and patients

And much more…

A short talk will be given in relation to the theme on how to address or manage it, in simple, effective and healthy ways. Self-reflection and development will be aided through an anonymous, ice breaking question and answer activity, often designed to address stigmas. For the main part of the session (30-40minutes), a creative and engaging activity led by the workshop lead, will help attendee’s to practically address the topic covered. Activities will usually be a ‘soft’ and simple, therapeutic inspired technique. Themes include:

Worry/Anxiety

Low-mood/Depression

Self-care

Anger

Burnout

Loss

Childhood Trauma

Domestic Violence

Confidence/Self-esteem

All themes will be discussed amongst all patient specific groups. They will be aimed at addressing the theme from the angle of the patient’s demographic group i.e: TTH: Mens workshop on low mod/depression, will target common male specific triggers and offer techniques to combat this.
