Our series of Pilates and Hatha yoga sessions have now ended, but we hope to be able to offer more of these in the future.

July sessions
Mental health awareness is essential in promoting the mental health and well-being of individuals and communities, while also reducing the negative impact of mental health problems on individuals, families, and society as a whole. Rethink Mental Illness will be sharing the following information:
- What is mental health?
- What causes mental health problems?
- Looking after your mental health. Book here
Join us for a powerful session where you’ll learn three science-backed techniques to instantly calm your nervous system, release big emotions, and reset your mindset. Silvia is a Health & Wellbeing Facilitator & Consultant who has spent 11 years at Network Rail. She has experience of being a young carer, balancing work and care as a sandwich carer, and now works for Carers First supporting unpaid carers. This session will leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected with tools you can use anytime to stay grounded and empowered. Book here
Note on signing up to our sessions
Our Share and Learn events are generally bookable via Zoom. Once you have registered by clicking the "Book here" option of the session you wish to attend, you will be sent a confirmation email with a Zoom "join meeting" link. Please note you may not receive your link straight away. If you have registered during the weekend or during out of office hours, you will receive a confirmation email as soon as possible. You will need to register for each Share and Learn individually.
Session recordings
To help more carers enjoy the benefits of Share and Learn, some sessions will be recorded. Only the speaker/facilitator’s section will be publicly shared. If you do not wish to be recorded, you are welcome to turn off your camera/audio during this part of the session.
Want to chat with other carers?
As well as Share and Learns, we run weekly online Care for a Cuppa sessions, where you can meet other carers, share experiences and find mutual support.
