Meditation and Wellbeing
This course facilitates an understanding of what meditation is, how it works and most importantly provides experiential, person-centred learning in a safe environment. The course strips meditation from any religious orientation; grounding it in a secular, rational perspective suitable for all.
Description
Target Audience: For those adults, consumers and staff working and accessing services across a variety of settings including housing etc.
People often experience mental health challenges in their lives. Mental health challenges respect equal opportunity and we are equally prone to these challenges whether we are a consumer or a provider of mental health services. We are literally all in this together. Wellbeing is a basic human right. Meditation, whilst practised for thousands of years is more relevant today than it has ever been. This is because it has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, enhance well-being and quality of life.
Participants will have the opportunity to develop their skills during the day and take-away resources to develop their meditation throughout their lives.
This course will support participants with:
- An understanding of what meditation is;
- An understanding of how meditation works in improving mental health and wellbeing specifically in relation to stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and sleep;
- Guided meditations to experience, reflect on and discuss; and
- Increased confidence and competence to continue meditation at home at work at play.
Wellness Responder Services:
A Wellness Responder will be in attendance during training sessions, to provide support and resources to participants should they experience a physical or mental health issue.
