Workshop 5 – Helping Ya Mate

Have you ever been worried about a friend?  Maybe they just don’t seem themselves, have been a bit quiet or seem like they’ve got something on their mind.  I bet you’ve wanted to chat to them, find out what’s wrong and help if you can, but you just haven’t been sure how to do it.

This workshop looks at picking up on the signs that someone you care about might have a problem, how you can listen to them and most importantly how you can get them connected to the right people if the issue is serious.

Seeing a friend struggling with a problem can be really hard! But gaining some simple skills to check in on them, lend an ear and help get them support can go such a long way towards helping them out and knowing you’ve made a difference.

Helping Ya Mate is bought to you by Stride.


 

Workshop 6 – Shut the Duck Up

Sometimes your thoughts can hold you back from being the best that you can be. Do you ever have nagging thoughts that you’re not good enough?

Does your mind ever tell you that you can’t really do or be what you want?

Come along to hear about how to tell those thoughts to Shut the Duck Up! Then you can do and be whatever you put your mind to.

Shut the Duck Up is bought to you by Stride.
