SLaM Recovery College Wellbeing Webinars for All 7th-11th September

7/9/2020

 
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 (7th-11th September):

The Everyday Way to Wellbeing 
A new series of short webinars, which will look at some common daily challenges for people recovering from mental health problems. We want the course to be responsive to the particular needs and concerns of our students, so course topics will be partly determined by participants. To get us started, in Week One, we'll look at the challenge of getting out and about and doing the shopping.  We’ll discuss some barriers,and how to overcome them,  such as: leaving the house, using public transport, organising a short trip, and much more…

Introduction to Recovery Part 2 | 2:30pm-3:30pm | Wednesday 9th September 
N.B. Postponed from last week 
Many people find being diagnosed with mental health difficulties devastating. Too often people feel that their life is over and that they will never be able to fulfil their dreams and ambitions or lead a satisfying and valued life.But it does not have to be this way. Whatever age a person is, whether they have only recently been diagnosed, or whether they have had a diagnosis for some time, recovery is possible, no matter how serious the person’s difficulties. It is possible for people to rebuild a meaningful, valued and satisfying life. This two-part course explores the impact of mental health difficulties on people’s lives, what helps people to grow within and beyond what has happened, and how they can rebuild their lives. ​
