Workshop Details<\/h2>\n

What is it?<\/b><\/p>\n

A 90-minute workshop with me (Dr Gareth Furber from Health, Counselling and Disability Services) in which I will give you a framework for thinking about how to maintain, improve or repair your mental health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who is it for?<\/b><\/p>\n

Anyone who is interested in improving or protecting their mental health.<\/p>\n

Anyone working on their physical fitness who\u2019d like to know how similar principles apply to mental fitness.<\/p>\n

Anyone interested in how to train the mind.<\/p>\n

Anyone working in a high pressure or high stress setting and wants tools for understanding how to be more resilient.<\/p>\n

Anyone in a helping profession that wants a model not only for their own mental health but to assist others in theirs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What I think you\u2019ll get out of it<\/b><\/p>\n

A modern definition of mental health and mental fitness.<\/p>\n

An understanding of mental fitness and how people go about building it.<\/p>\n

An understanding of why it might be important for you to build mental fitness.<\/p>\n

An understanding of what else might be required in one\u2019s life if they are training their mind.<\/p>\n

An experience of different mental fitness \u2018workouts\u2019.<\/p>\n

An appreciation of the fact that mental fitness can be built without necessarily investing a huge amount of time or effort.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is involved in the session?<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve packed a lot of content into the 90 minutes, so expect it to be fast-paced.<\/span><\/p>\n

The workshops will be delivered online via Collaborate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are individual reflection exercises throughout the workshop that you\u2019ll be invited to do and you\u2019ll be provided a worksheet to assist with this. Some sharing of your experiences will also be possible during the session (in the group chat).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can you get Horizon points?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yep – 1.5 (note that Horizon is using a new point scheme, so that is why the points are lower than previous)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That sounds great but I can’t attend<\/strong><\/p>\n

You might find the recently updated ‘Introduction to Mental Fitness<\/a>‘ handout to be useful, which covers a lot of the same territory as the workshop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
