Personal Development: Introduction to Different Perspectives on Mental Health

We will explore the experience of mental distress from four very different viewpoints. Each has something to offer, none has the whole story. 路 The Biological aims to understand what is going on in the brain and the body. It underpins the medical model. 路 The Psychological perspectives seek to explain our mental states in terms of our thinking, feelings and habits. It鈥檚 all in the mind. 路 The Social perspective shifts the focus away from the individual. It is society that needs to change. 路 A Spiritual perspective goes beyond our limited sense of self to seek deeper meaning in our life journey.

Personal Development: Exploring our memories of Christmas, Winter and Renewal

This time of year, means different things to different people and yet the experience of hope and renewal in dark times is a universal theme. We will share our memories of this time and, as one memory sparks another, we can reflect on them together. These reflections could touch upon the nature of memory, on culture and identity, or on finding hope in difficult times. There is no need to be a good 'story-teller' as the memories shared will be short, snapshots of lives lived.The aim is to be inclusive as possible and accommodate those with some hearing difficulties.
