Minding Your Wellbeing

The HSE Minding Your Wellbeing Programme provides a unique opportunity for people to learn more about key elements of mental wellbeing such as mindfulness, gratitude, self-care and resilience; it is a programme to support your positive mental health and wellbeing. Minding Your Wellbeing aims to provide tools and guidance to develop and maintain a positive outlook by exploring ways to look after your mental health and wellbeing. This two-part workshop, offered in partnership with Health Promotion & Improvement, HSE Health & Wellbeing and Family Carers Ireland, aims to support family carers to identify and put in place good self-care practices for their everyday wellbeing and resilience.

Why attend Minding Your Wellbeing?

As family carers, your mental health is always important. Sometimes you may need support to care for it. The HSE Minding Your Wellbeing Programme aims to provide simple tools and guidance to help you develop and maintain a positive approach to looking after your mental health and wellbeing every day. The training will provide you with an opportunity to explore and understand the different ways you can actively care for your mental health and wellbeing. 

You will learn about:

  • The importance of good self-care practices and how they can be built into your day-to-day life;
  • How your thoughts and emotions impact on your mental wellbeing, how to respond/cope with those
    emotions that challenge and savour those emotions that help you flourish;
  • The benefit of positive relationships and how you can cultivate them;
  • How to invest in your resilience, and the benefits of knowing and using your strengths.

This programme incorporates a universal approach to the promotion of positive mental health and wellbeing for everyday living. It is not of a clinical nature and does not encompass the identification, symptoms or treatment of mental health difficulties. It is not intended as a personal therapeutic training and participants will not be expected or invited to discuss their own personal mental health experiences.
