| The Wellbeing Toolbox | A wellbeing toolbox can equip you with essential coping skills, tools and activities to help tackle stress, regulate our emotions and alleviate anxiety and depression. Having knowledge of these skills and practicing them can make us more resilient and able to tackle life’s problems. This is a two part session, we will cover what a mental health crisis is and how we can develop skills to tackle them. Skills covered include the TIPP skill and relaxation techniques. You will develop a better understanding of emotions which arise but also physical symptoms and how they present. The final session finishes on the self-soothe box and how you can create your own. We can support you with this. Improving your health and wellbeing is our main focus at community roots and we hope we can help to develop your skills and become more resilient. | Choice/Hope/Wellbeing |

| Living With ADHD | By learning about ADHD, we are able to develop a more compassionate approach to those living with ADHD. This not only enhances their lives, but those of them around them. This course is designed to give you some insight into what ADHD is and the different ways that this can present. We aim to try and understand the impacts which ADHD can have on our daily life and we will then go on to discuss ideas on how to manage the challenges it can present, whilst living a happy and fulfilled life. We will explore some myths around ADHD and look at the facts, in hope to dispel some of the stigma which surrounds ADHD. Lastly, through sharing experiences, we can learn better how to understand people who live with ADHD and help them live a happier life and those living with ADHD can feel less alone. | Belonging Hope |
