Well-being sessions for our parents

21 hours ago2 min read

We were delighted to be able to offer some well-being sessions to our parents over the past few weeks.

My stress was gone by the end of event I left relaxed and with a new mindset to handle my stress in life

It fair lifted my spirits and I was so proud of the finished product

We managed to secure funding to help our parents improve their well-being and mental health. Using this money we held a wreath making workshop, a gonk making workshop and a sound bath as well as our yearly panto visit. These events allowed the families to have new experiences, feel connected and use art and sound to relax and feel better able to cope.

I liked that it was relaxed and informal. We each had an individual task to complete but we had to move around the room at times so had a chance to speak to other people there. It felt like an opportunity to be creative and connect with others without the need to talk about tough stuff.

There were smiles galore and a real feeling of achievement at the crafting workshops. The parents that attended also enjoyed the chance to socialise with other parents, knowing they were not alone.

The panto left everyone with sore faces after the belly laughs that were shared. Laughter is the best medicine! There was a great feeling of community and belonging. Everyone felt included and knew there was no judgement.

The sound bath left participants feeling renewed and relaxed. It was something different for most participants and helped them feel calmer, more positive and ready to try other new experiences that will be beneficial to their well-being.

I felt very calm, relaxed and more focused in the days following the workshop

Some time together for fun and laughter at the panto.

It was nice and relaxing and I forgot about the stresses of Christmas for a wee while
