Increase your awareness of mental health in this session focusing on anxiety and depression. Learn useful tools, coping strategies and sources of support for yourself and your loved ones.
People around the world suffer from mental health conditions with the World Health Organisation (WHO) announcing depression is one of the leading causes of disability in 2019. WHO are also predicting by 2030 depression will be the number one cause of illness worldwide.
Fast forward a year and the coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact. Recent UK studies are showing a rise in anxiety and depression since the pandemic began.
Join Steve Hobbs of Shine Psychotherapies and Jules of Hobbs Holistic Health for an online, interactive mental health awareness training delivered via Zoom.
The session will run for 90 minutes and includes the following topics:
• Understand the current situation and demographics in mental ill health
• Explores stigmas and dispel myths in relation to mental illness
• Learn more about the signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression
• Understand the continuum of mental illness
• Build your toolbox of coping strategies for you and your loved ones
• Find sources of support
• Practice a calming mindfulness meditation
Please bring a pen and notepad with you. You will need a laptop or mobile phone to log into zoom. It would be good if you could also find a quiet space to work from. There are no prerequisites to attend this course. Unfortunately, closed captioning is not available for those hard of hearing.
Jules and Steve’s approach is warm and friendly. You are welcome to interact as much as you would like via the chat function throughout the session. We encourage the use of your camera too but this, and use of the chat function, is completely optional. This is your time and your session. Choose the option that’s right for you.
Similar sessions are usually around £49, however, we believe that this information and support should be available to everyone, including those who are facing financial pressures due to the pandemic. Therefore, we are providing this training at just £12 which includes your Eventbrite fee.
Online seats are limited to 100 and each ticket allows one device login (this means you could invite members from your household to join you to watch from your mobile phone or laptop). Ticket sales end at 3.30pm on the day of the event.
Please use a correct email address when signing up for the session. We will use this to send you the zoom link and post event support, handouts and information. You will be given the opportunity to opt in or out of the Hobbs Holistic Health newsletter to hear about future events.
If you have any enquiries please email [email protected].
