💜🌿 HER Programme – Week 7

As we near the end of our HER Self-Development Programme, this week marked Week 7 of our journey together.

In today’s session, we explored:

The Window of Tolerance, understanding how our nervous system responds to stress and how we can recognise when we feel regulated or overwhelmed

Reframing, learning how to gently challenge and shift unhelpful thought patterns

People Pleasing, exploring patterns of over-giving, boundaries, and how this can impact our wellbeing

It was another powerful and reflective session. Watching these incredible women continue to grow, support one another, and step into their strength has been truly inspiring

A huge thank you again to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting this programme and creating opportunities for women in our community 🤍🌿💜

💜🌿 HER Programme – Week 5

As we continue this learning journey together, Week 5 created space to explore and better understand some of the more challenging emotions we all experience.

This week, we explored:

Depression – how it can affect our thoughts, feelings, and daily life
Anxiety – understanding our responses to stress
Anger – recognising and expressing it in healthy ways
Guilt and shame – and how these emotions can impact our sense of self

It was a deeply reflective session, and the strength within this wonderful group continues to grow as these amazing ladies connect and support one another.

We are now taking a short break for half term, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back after the Easter holidays to continue their journey of growth and self-discovery.

A heartfelt thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund for making this programme possible and supporting women in our community every step of the way. 🌿💜🤍
