Mental health and well-being workshops for parents: We are offering parents two more opportunities to attend a workshop to understand the way our and our children's minds work. This was held last year and those parents who attended found it both fascinating and very beneficial.

The body and mind represent two of our greatest assets. A healthy lifestyle can optimise the body; but how do you optimise your mind? Are you managing yourself around people and situations in the way that you want to? Why do we sometimes get overwhelmed with emotions, or have thoughts, feelings or do things that we later regret? 

This session uses neuroscience and The Chimp Model, our powerful mind management model, to offer explanations for these questions and to help you develop personal insights and practical approaches to optimise the performance of your mind. 

This session will help you to: 

• Explore how the mind works through The Chimp Model
• Gain insight into your own unique mind
• Understand how to develop emotional skills
• Apply emotional skills to manage your behaviours, thinking and emotions 

Session Structure: 

This session is highly practical and engaging. Participants are introduced to relatable neuroscience through The Chimp Model with each individual exploring and identifying their unique Chimp, Human and what they have stored in their Computers. We explore how this insight impacts our professional and personal lives, in particular around managing emotions. Participants will also learn skills and techniques for managing their unique Chimp – which can have a huge impact on happiness, confidence and success. 

By the end of this session, participants will know how to: 

• Explain the structure and functioning of the mind, through The Chimp Model
• Develop personal insight and skills for optimising their mind
• Form plans to better manage behaviours, thinking and emotions 

The sessions will run from 3:40 to 4:40 on Friday 6th October and repeated on Friday 10th November. It's a better session without children attending.
