💜🌿 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. 🌿💜🤍
