Mental Health Week 2017: October 8th-14th The two sessions look at various diagnoses and include an understanding of current mental health treatments and factors which can make a person vulnerable to developing a mental illness
Building A Future: Mental Health Workshops If you or someone you care for is living with mental health issues then a free workshop coming up at the community house could be the first step to a brighter future. The Building a Future (BAF) Snapshot is a two-session workshop that discusses the complexities of mental health and coping strategies when things go off kilter. These strategies are discussed within the context of recovery and how it relates to mental illness; this includes good self-management, setting achievable goals, participation in meaningful activity and aiming for positive relationships. Taking and celebrating small steps towards improvement can replace “doom and gloom” with hope and joy.
The Workshops will run on Tuesday October 18th and 25th, from 1.30pm-4.30pm. For enrolments please contact Wellways Barwon carer consultant Janette Korolew on 5292 1686 (voice messages received), Mob. 0417 961 932 (text messages received) or email jkorolew@wellways.org.
The strength of the BAF program is that it is peer led and facilitated by someone with first-hand experience navigating the mental health system and the challenges of assisting a loved one with mental illness. The concept of recovery and connecting with others in a supportive environment lightens the learning and emphasises hope in adversity. The program is offered by Wellways Australia and is tailored to suit participants in each workshop. It is designed to be interactive with opportunity for shared thoughts and experiences.
This training is for professionals, carers, family & friends of individuals who have Self-Destructive Behaviours. The workshop is being offered Monday & Tuesday 13th & 14th November at Spring Creek Community House by Safe In Oz.
