Community Living Well and Westminster Talking Therapies are now offering one hour workshops focused on a range of concerns during the coronavirus outbreak. There will be time in the workshop to ask questions and for group discussion.

At the moment these one-hour workshops are being held online and cover these topics:

  • Living Well with COVID and a Long Term Health Condition: Having a long term health condition (such as diabetes, respiratory or cardiac conditions) during this pandemic can bring extra challenges to our ability to manage our health and wellbeing. This 1 hour webinar covers a range of ideas; to support you during social distancing or isolation. Here we discuss topics such as: managing worries about our health and COVID, continuing to move with a meaningful routine during isolation, how to decipher information about COVID and much more.
  • Managing Anxiety and Worry during a pandemic: We know that during COVID, we may find ourselves worrying about a range of issues coming up with the pandemic and feeling increasingly overwhelmed or anxious. This 1 hour webinar discusses tools to help support you with this including; managing worries about COVID, looking after yourselves, coping with the increased uncertainty the pandemic presents and evaluating the information you read about COVID.
  • Maintaining Wellbeing During Isolation: Life in isolation presents many challenges to our wellbeing; not being able to continue with many of the activities that would be meaningful to us. It’s therefore easy to notice difficulties in motivating ourselves or a drop in mood. This 1 hour webinar covers tools to help build a meaningful routine while in isolation, problem solve specific difficulties and manage hopeless thoughts we might have about the pandemic.
  • Parenthood during COVID: Life during the pandemic is already stressful, but being a parent or going through pregnancy can add extra challenges to your wellbeing at this time. This 1 hour webinar is aimed at parents and women going though pregnancy and covers a range of topics such as: creating a well-rounded family routine, how to talk to children about COVID, managing worries about giving birth or COVID and being kind to ourselves if things don’t go to plan.

We would also welcome members of staff in the CCG, the council, and in the voluntary sector in these workshops.
