Coping with the emotional effects of flooding

Over the last week we have experienced a high level of waterfall in our area. This can cause concern as the rivers start to fill up. As more rain falls a number of areas are in danger of flooding or have already flooded. We understand that coping with the effects can take an emotional toll. Please see click on the link below which has some practical suggestions and contact organisations to help you cope.

Be quick and book onto our free and popular 8 week Mindfulness course:

Mindfulness is a life skill we can all learn. It involves the ability to become aware of what is happening in the present moment, rather than
being on automatic pilot, without worrying or judging. Being mindful provides us with the opportunity to respond to difficult events and situations in new ways. This 8 week online course using MS Teams, looks at the origins of mindfulness, core practices and its potential to be used to combat stress. Together, we will explore the various tools and techniques used, to gain a better understanding of mindfulness and
its purpose.

The start date has been moved back to Tuesday 2 February 11am-12pm
