Taking Control Workshop
What is the Taking Control Workshop
The ‘Taking Control’ Workshop is about practical ways to face life challenges, maintaining and taking control of your physical and mental wellbeing.
The Aims are as follows:
The Taking Control workshop was developed as a response to people who have become unemployed and are facing financial and/or personal challenges. The themes of resilience, life management and control and coping skills led to the development of the four module workshop:
To enhance coping skills, especially pre existing ones.
To build and support self esteem and confidence.
After participating, people will:
Be aware of positive factors in their lives.
List positive skills and knowledge they bring forward with them.
Recognise the physical, mental and emotional effect of stressors.
Have action plans to safe guard against these stressors.
Be aware of opportunities and avenues open to them.
Know professional supports available to them.
Have set goals and have created an action plan around these.
We have structured our workshop so that each module follows on from and builds on prior learning, scaffolding onto new and existing knowledge and encouraging participants to progress from awareness of issues, through to interpretation and on to active problem solving.
There are 4 modules:
Module 1. Self Esteem and Positivity.
Module 2. My Coping Skills.
Module 3. Changing the weather in my Head. Signposting my supports and paths to my new life.
Module 4. Being Resilient, Taking Control.
