Five Ways to Well Being in Sefton

Dependant on demand, NHS Sefton will be running two events to promote the ‘five ways to wellbeing’ in Sefton. This is an approach that enables us all to improve our mental health and wellbeing by incorporating the ‘five ways’ in to our daily routine. The five ways are: Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning and Give. The event will incorporate several practical workshops that encourage us to build resilience in our lifestyles along with highlighting things that make us feel good.
