SLaM Recovery College Wellbeing Webinars for All 28th September - 2nd October

26/9/2020

 
Hello Students, Colleagues and Friends,
 
We understand how difficult a time this is for everybody, and particularly for people who experience long term health conditions.
 
As SLaM Recovery College is unable to offer any classroom-based workshops now, our team has been working behind the scenes to develop online content, including vlogs, webinars and e-learning.
 
These sessions are available to everyone, free of charge. You don’t need to be a SLaM Recovery College student or have any connection at all to South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. We just ask that you answer a few questions and let us know which sessions you’d like to be a part of, using one of the registration form links below, and we’ll then send you links to the webinars you’ve chosen.
 
Every Friday we will email you the details of the online learning we are offering in the following week.
 
N.B. If you can't make a particular live event you can still enrol and use the link we'll send you to watch a recording later on.
 
Here are this week’s webinars (28th September - 2nd October):

Understanding Anxiety Part 1 (of 4) | 10:30am-11:30pm | Tuesday 29th September 
Anxiety is something we all experience from time to time. Most people can relate to those anxious, butterfly feelings when doing something which feels uncertain or feeling fearful about sitting exams, having a medical, going to the dentist. It is a natural feeling and can be useful, as it warns us when we need to take action, when we may be in danger or can even help us to perform better.
This four-part course of webinars will examine the facts about anxiety, how it is diagnosed and what it feels like to experience anxiety.  

Moving Towards Self-Compassion Part 2 (of 8) | 12noon-1pm | Wednesday 30th September 
This eight-part course explores the idea of self-compassion and how this can lead to a greater sense of self-acceptance and empathy with other people. Each week, we will explore a different topic, practise some self-compassion exercises then reflect on our experience. There will be pre-session and post-session activities which you can complete at home. We hope this course would be of interest to and benefit anyone who might struggle with perfectionism or self-criticism. We also warmly welcome anyone curious about this course, and who enjoys reflecting on what it means to be human.

This three-part course explores the use of substances (drugs and alcohol) and their impact on mental wellbeing. At times, using substances can appear to be a solution but it often has a longer-term impact on our wellbeing.
