Coventry City of Culture Trust is providing 100 free spaces on a mental health masterclass for those who are self-isolating and working from home during the COVID-19 crisis.
The remote masterclass will be run by Coventry-based training provider PET-Xi.
The sessions will take place on April 6th and 10th with 50 free spaces each day.
The masterclass will feature advice and training on how to best look after one’s own mental health as well as providing support for others who may be suffering under the current social distancing measures.
The masterclasses are broke down into the following:
10.00 – Welcome and check-in
10.15 – Understand mental health and wellbeing
11.00 – Understand how mentally ill health affects the experience of individuals
11.30 – Understand ways to self-manage own wellbeing
12.00 – Identify sources of guidance and support for mental health
BREAK
13.00 – Self-motivation and time management
13.30 – Understand ways to self-manage own mental health and self-awareness
14.00 – Outlining strategies to manage own mental health
14.30 – Resilience during difficult times – the importance of fresh air, exercise and
interacting with family and friends through other means than face-to-face.
According to the mental health charity Mind, approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem in the space of a year.
Mental health issues can often be made worse when isolation occurs and socialising with family and friends is not an option, this is why it is so important that people can learn how to make sure they are taking care of their mental health as well as they can.
And, that employers and/or managers understand what they can do to support staff.
