Caring for ourselves with kindness and compassion involves paying attention to our bodies and minds as well as to our environment, including connections with other people. This family wellness programme is all about relationships and connections but remember that regular exercise and balanced nutrition as well as quality sleep are also really important.

With this programme, we support you to understand what happens in your brain when you’re getting stressed out and we do this by :

• talking about emotions and feelings
• introducing you to Professor Dan Siegel’s Hand Model
• and to Professor John Gottman's Emotion Coaching
• The Biology of Stress

'All emotions are OK but not all behaviour is OK'

If you’re having trouble talking about your feelings and labelling your emotions it can help to work with a trusted adult such as a close friend, Parent Family Support Advisor(PFSA) or Family Support Worker.
