Course description

This 2-hour online taster session offers a friendly and practical introduction to building confidence and resilience. Designed for anyone looking to boost their wellbeing and self-belief, the session provides a supportive space to explore personal growth in an accessible, informal setting.

Taking part online, you will engage in a range of guided activities and discussions that help you reflect on your experiences and recognise your strengths. You’ll learn simple, effective strategies to manage stress, challenge negative thinking, and develop a more positive and balanced outlook. Techniques such as goal setting, self-reflection, and building small, achievable habits will be introduced.

The session is interactive and inclusive, with opportunities to contribute as much or as little as you feel comfortable. You’ll also benefit from shared experiences, gaining encouragement and ideas from others in the group.

By the end of the workshop, you will have practical ideas to support your confidence in daily life and a clearer understanding of how resilience can help you manage challenges. You’ll also gain insight into how further learning could support your personal development journey.
