Workshops launched to help Chesterfield residents with mental wellbeing and work/life balance
Community Chesterfield is launching a series of workshops for people in the town, with ‘Calm In A Box’ aimed at tackling mental well-being and the work/life balance.
Starting on the 18th of January and running through until the 1st of March, Community Chesterfield has teamed up with Calm In A Box to offer a series of free online training sessions to staff and volunteers of community groups and charities, as well as staff and students at the University of Derby.
Led by Calm In A Box founder Sarah Markham, the framework aims to help those taking part to find a better balance in their life, and see the rewards making these changes can bring. Training & Tea is Community Chesterfield’s signature bitesize online training that presents successful and accessible workshops covering a variety of topics.
Sarah, who is Founder and CEO at Calm in a Box commented: “Calm in a Box brings together my personal interest in well-being with my professional experience and aims to promote a calmer lifestyle at home and at work at a time when we are often overwhelmed with busyness, stress, and anxiety which can lead to both mental and physical health issues.”
Each session includes key themes, research, insight, and storytelling. The workshops will enable participants to learn ways to shift their mindset and encourage positive behaviour to make the changes they need.
Daniel Jones, Marketing and Communications Officer at Community Chesterfield said: “It’s been a tough few years for a lot of people, and we wanted to encourage a positive start to this one, a fresh outlook, and to help support our communities in making 2023 one to look forward to, and we hope this series of Training & Tea will help achieve that.”
Free places are available as part of the National Lottery Community Fund, and Community Chesterfield’s partnership with the University of Derby to those qualifying (see their website for details). Tickets are open to businesses and individuals at a cost of £20 per session.
Community Chesterfield supports the marketing and economic growth of the town through Chesterfield Champions, a network of over 200 organisations across Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.
