What is this workshop about?
Mental Health. A term we hear a lot these days. But what does Mental Health really mean? Mental Health refers to the absence of psychological distress, but it doesn't stop there. It involves the ability to deal effectively with daily challenges and an overall sense of well-being.
This workshop aims to deconstruct the concept of Mental Health and emotional experience in its various components, exploring them in the light of self-knowledge, personal reflection and the way we relate to ourselves and others. The warning signs to look out for will also be discussed and some strategies for looking after our Mental Health will be shared.
