Wellbeing Workshops
Practical workshops designed to help you build resilience, support your wellbeing and navigate the challenges of pharmacy life.
Learning is already a big part of pharmacy life. It can support wellbeing when it builds confidence, curiosity and a sense of progress. You can also try picking up something new or returning to an interest you have put aside, such as joining a course, taking on a different task at work, fixing something, playing an instrument or cooking a favourite meal. Set yourself a challenge that you will enjoy working towards. Learning in any form can be enjoyable and help build self esteem.
A review of evidence carried out for the Mental Health Foundation’s project, Learning for Life, found that learning gives direction to people’s lives. Attending adult learning can also help people to develop new friendships and increase their social support network. Learning does not have to be formal, activities could include:
- paying regular visits to galleries and museums
- learning a practical skill, for example, plumbing or cooking
- taking on some extra responsibilities at work, for example, learning to use IT systems or creating reports
- rediscovering an old hobby, for example, sewing, knitting or building model aeroplanes.
For further information on lifelong learning, see the Health Foundation report.
