Mental Health Awareness Week - (18th - 22nd May) including a resource from AWARE

18th May 2020

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the focus is on ‘kindness’.

We have some challenges for you to try on your 'Home Learning' page this week.

We know that Camphill pupils are kind and caring - we would love to see some photos of you completing the kindness challenges.

Parents/Carers....

AWARE have some exciting news!

In celebration of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we are launching a free online version of our Living Life to the Full well-being programme as well as launching further dates for our popular free Mindfulness sessions! These programmes are free to adults 18+

Living Life to the Full (18+)

The six-session programme uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) concepts to help you manage your feelings when you are stressed, worried, or depressed. It teaches you simple, practical skills to help you cope with life’s challenges. The session will be delivered in short video sessions on YouTube.

Mindfulness (18+)

These sessions will last one hour and will consist of meditation practices, some teaching about mindfulness and how mindfulness can be helpful in reducing stress and anxiety.

As always, feel free to circulate this information with teachers and parents.
