This page is here to help promote positive well-being during this difficult time. Below you will find a range of information, resources and activities to help you.
We have split them up into 5 the aspects of promoting positive well being, Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Learn and Give.
The activities are for children and adults, as we are all going through this together, and all need some help at times :)

Be Active
Be Active
Regular physical activity is associated with lower rates of depression and anxiety across all age groups. Exercise is essential for slowing age-related cognitive decline and for promoting well-being.
But it doesn’t need to be particularly intense for you to feel good - slower-paced activities, such as walking, can have the benefit needed!

Take Notice
Take Notice
Reminding yourself to ‘take notice’ can strengthen and broaden awareness. Studies have shown that being aware of what is taking place in the present directly enhances your well-being and savouring ‘the moment’ can help to reaffirm your life priorities.
Heightened awareness also enhances your self-understanding and allows you to make positive choices based on your own values and motivations.
