Move Your Mind

The science of feeling better and how to take your next step

Workshop overview:

This workshop explores the strong connection between physical activity and mental wellbeing. We’ll look at how exercise can help reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance focus. You’ll learn simple, practical ways to incorporate movement into your daily routine, and how these actions can support your mental health in the long run. Join us to understand how moving your body can have a positive impact on your mind, and discover tools to feel better both physically and mentally.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

  1. Understand the science behind the key physical and mental health benefits of regular movement

  2. Identify the stages of behaviour change and be able to locate where you currently are in the cycle

  3. Recognise your own barriers and identify personal motivations for becoming more active

  4. Develop confidence in taking your next steps for increased movement and finding enjoyment and fun along the way

Workshop format:

Move Your Mind is a single workshop consisting of 1 x 2-hour in-person session.

We will have a short break in the middle for a gentle 15-minute walk around the park. The workshop is hosted by our Recovery Practitioner staff who will guide attendees through a presentation focused on the core topics above. The in-person session will include elements of group discussion and will allow time for questions.

This workshop is free to attend, and registration is required to join. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Please note: You do not have to be of any particular level of fitness to engage in this workshop.
