Our Social Prescribing service ran a four-week programme of mental health and well-being taster sessions for clients in November, covering:
- Understanding Anxiety
- Introduction to WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan)
- Mindfulness-based Well-being
- Recovery in Colour
This programme was delivered under our Sláintecare Healthy Communities programme, funded by HSE Community Healthcare East Health & Wellbeing, and run in collaboration with ARCHES Recovery College.
Feedback from those who took part on the benefits to them was overwhelmingly positive.
“It brought me out more and I opened up more."
“Got me to stop overthinking”,
“Got me back to talking to people again.
“It has made me aware of ways to recovery”.
“Being listened to and in a group. I like the interaction with [the facilitators]”.
“Getting to know people, because I usually stick to myself and don’t mix, so this has helped me”.
