Wellbeing Wednesdays - A Reflection and Connection series
Welcome to Wellbeing Wednesdays! A monthly space for youth professionals to come together once a month online to access peer support from other professionals pan London, celebrate successes, troubleshoot challenges, share and learn from one another.
These will be open sessions for you to bring what's on your mind to speak through or to be a listening ear and support other colleagues, feel heard and validated. You can attend one session or all, a no pressure place to take some time to connect and reflect.
These sessions will have a light structure of a check in and often a theme, but will be led by what participants want to share. Each session will finish with a check-out.
If a theme below doesn't connect with you at the time, you are still very welcome to come and join to share what's coming up for you that Wellbeing Wednesday, to connect and reflect!
September is the start of the new academic year and new beginnings for many young people as they navigate school life or if they aren't in education employment or training it may be a different season. Join us to reflect on the summer and look at the theme of change and transitions together.
October features World Mental Health Day and the theme is to prioritise mental health in the workplace. Join us to discuss how we currently support ourselves at work, personally and professionally and a chance to check in on our wellbeing and what's in our toolkit for challenging times!
November is Men's Health Month. For this session we will reflect on young men's mental health and what is impacting young males wellbeing. We will include contributions from young males at FYA and what they want to share and think about ways we can support male mental health and wellbeing.
