What you’ll do
Bring your students to a careers workshop that focuses on self-care and wellbeing hosted by the the Black Wellbeing Collective. The workshop will be of particular interest to students interested in careers in mental health and wellbeing.
Together with a wellbeing facilitator and a psychologist, they’ll spend the day unpacking self-compassion practices and learning techniques to help build confidence, self-belief, and the ability to bounce back from career challenges.
They’ll also get practical advice on budgeting, financial wellbeing and building their CV. The facilitators will draw on their own experiences as healthcare professionals, and students will be able to ask them questions about careers in mental health and wellbeing.
We will provide takeaway tools for the group to use. Including a self-care toolkit for them to use in the session and beyond. The kit includes:
- top reads for wellbeing and career support
- resources on the workshop themes
- six-month top self-care and actions priority listing
- mindful colouring.
We have developed this workshop for groups of students aged 14 to 19, studying GCSEs or post-16 qualifications at school or sixth-form college. You can bring up to 30 students, accompanied by staff at a ratio of 1:10.
Due to the small scale of our free programme, schools in the Greater London area have priority.
