EMOTIONAL WELLBEING
It is important to prioritise healthy things that help you to feel good. Having a grasp on your emotional health and wellbeing will help with how you think, feel and relate to yourself, others and the world around you. This is a powerful way that you can create the best version of yourself and your life.
Your mind matters to us so let us give you the right tools and services to aid you on your journey to a better outlook on life and to improve your mood.
We can help in many different ways:
- FREE 12 week healthy lifestyle workshops which include sessions on self-care, mindfulness, sleep and relaxation
- Help you to access specialised support and counselling services
- Provide links for free self-care guides and tools
Our dedicated team of trained healthy lifestyle specialists are here to support you. We will tailor the advice and support we can offer to provide the right help for You.
The 8 Steps to Wellbeing Plan has been developed to help Walsall residents to understand what they can do to enhance, maintain or improve their mental wellbeing. They are:
- Be Active
- Take Notice
- Connect
- Give something to others
- Learn something new
- Hydration and nutrition
- Sleep for wellbeing
- Hope for the future
Spending time in green space or bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing. For example, doing things like growing food or flowers, exercising outdoors or being around animals can have lots of positive effects.
