YouCan: Nurture Your Wellbeing with Our New Virtual Series for Parent Carers
Introducing YouCan, a series of four virtual sessions designed specifically to help you build and maintain positive wellbeing. These sessions aim to offer a supportive and accessible space to connect, learn practical skills, and develop strategies to navigate the challenges and joys of your crucial role. There are options for attending online or in person fitting the sessions around your busy schedule.
Here's a glimpse into what each YouCan session will cover:
Session 1: YouCan Be You
This session is all about understanding and acknowledging your emotions and feelings. We'll delve into the complexities of how you might be feeling right now, providing a safe space to share experiences with other carers who truly understand. You'll learn practical strategies to cope with a range of emotions, helping you to navigate your daily life with greater self-awareness and understanding.
Session 2: YouCan Bounce Back
This session focuses on strengthening your resilience – your ability to bounce back from setbacks and adversity. We'll explore practical techniques to help you cope with stress, build inner strength, and develop a more adaptable mindset, empowering you to face life's hurdles with greater confidence.
Session 3: Small Changes, Big Difference
Often, in the midst of caring for others, our own needs can take a backseat. This session highlights the powerful impact of small, manageable changes in your diet, sleep habits, and exercise routine. We'll explore practical tips and strategies that can be easily integrated into your daily life to boost your energy levels, improve your mood, and enhance your overall wellbeing.
Session 4: YouCan Do It
This final session brings together mindful techniques and practical coping strategies to equip you with a valuable toolkit for everyday life. We'll explore the power of positive thinking and gratitude, and introduce mindful practices to help you stay present and manage stress. We'll also look at the importance of planning for the future, fostering a sense of hope and control.
Connect and Learn
We understand that different learning environments suit different people. That's why, in addition to our convenient virtual sessions, we are also excited to announce that YouCan face-to-face sessions will be taking place in local GP surgeries. This offers a valuable opportunity for in-person connection and support within your community.
