This short course has been designed to support you to explore a range of activities to help nurture a heathier body and mind. The course is suitable for learners with little experience or knowledge. Most learners will not have any previous knowledge of the subject taught, but this is not always the case and the tutor will adapt the learning activities to suit all abilities and needs during the course.

This short course will help you to understand: The importance of understanding what we mean by mental wellbeing. The importance of promoting positive wellbeing. Simple and quick stress-busting activities.
