POSITIVE ACTIVITIES

We have opportunities until the end of December 2024 for individuals to access wellbeing support, either in 1:1 sessions or groups. This support gives people the opportunity to access support in:

  • learning wellbeing techniques

  • accessing a regular Wellbeing and Safe space group (Wednesday afternoons)

  • an online monthly Mindfulness group (last Wednesday of the month at 12.30pm)

  • Yoga Nidra sessions

  • accessing Space to Breathe training days

  • Wellness Recovery Planning courses

  • being given free access to our Wellbeing Suite

This opportunity is particularly open to people who might otherwise struggle to access support, who have barriers to accessing help (e.g. language, context) or who are otherwise being discharged and need some ongoing support.

You can find details of the groups below and use the button to access the referral form.

Positive Activities is a Project funded by South Yorkshire Housing Association, Changing Futures, Sheffield DACT and Sheffield Council and we are so grateful for their support. You can find out more about the other projects here or download the list of services here.

10:4 Campaign

We are currently raising money to provide focused support to people in the Sheffield area, sharing four key wellbeing techniques which we’ve consistently found have helped people.

These techniques are:

The four tools we’d share are:

  • Learning adapted breathing exercises help people ground themselves and see the wood for the trees when life is tough.

  • Learning self-awareness tools enable worries and stresses to move from elusive to known and enables strategies to be built.

  • Learning ways to gain perspective help create realistic and possible routes to recovery.

  • Learning to establish a sense of purpose an hope give people the emotional energy to face the future.

People accessing support would:

  • Gain access to a simple set of resources which help people know, try and practice these tools

  • One-to-one in person support with individuals to help contextualise these tools into their own lives.

  • Group sessions around these four tools to help build rhythms and routines of self-care and listen to their needs and concerns at the different moments in their journey of getting better.
