Mindful Wellbeing for Carers
is a short course especially for family carers of someone with additoinal needs. The course is run in a small group of 6-10 participants. This course is based on Evelyn's substantial training in the area of Mindfulness and, in particular, Mindfulness Integrated CBT (or MiCBT). This framework offers a structure with building blocks that supports participants to take away a powerful set of skills that they can use at home with confidence after the course is finished. What participants are saying ….. "Mindfulness has helped me break an unhelpful habit I had of telling myself how bad things are – I feel different now that I'm letting go of this pattern." “I’ve learned just how much my evaluations of myself and my kids were impacting on me – now I keep my feet on the ground and negative thoughts that were making things worse are less in the picture” Click here for a printable flyer with details of Mindful Meditation for Carers |
