Herts mental health charity provides support for key workers during coronavirus crisis

The services that are available include Mindfulness sessions that run twice a day Monday- Friday and Living Well courses, which are self-help courses based around Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, whilst offering new coping strategies.

Health and social care workers are able to join in on as many courses or mindfulness sessions as they would like to support their wellbeing during these uncertain times.

Head of Training and Development, Nicky Kuklys said: “This coronavirus pandemic is affecting everyone differently whether it be your new working arrangements, managing childcare and/or missing loved ones.

“Mindfulness is a tool that supports you to stay in the present and not dwell on the past or worry about the future. We can only manage a moment at a time.

“We especially want to support our many health and social care workers who are likely to be under enormous pressure during this situation – this is perfectly natural in these uncertain circumstances and Mindfulness is just one of the support offers we are putting in place for you.”

Alongside offering free digital wellbeing packages to support health and social care workers Mind in Mid Herts also received funding from county councillors to support the people of Hertfordshire by offering our digital Living Well courses to support their mental health during the coronavirus crisis.

There are a variety of courses to suit a range of different needs particularly within these uncertain times including: Feeling Well, Learning to Relax, Building Courage, Staying Well at Work and Sleeping Well.

These digital courses will be run via Zoom, giving the people of Hertfordshire all the benefits of face-to-face support from their own homes and workplaces. Each group will be no more than 16 participants and facilitated by experienced workers at Mind in Mid Herts.

Each course will be 90 minutes long and structured over four consecutive weeks to give people the right tools and techniques to support their wellbeing and prevent them from becoming unwell. If you would like to book any of these courses please visit www.mindinmidherts.org.uk.
