Has the pandemic caused you to become more isolated? Want to feel more connected? You’re not alone! 

The Wellbeing Team are running an online Wellbeing Workshop on 30 March at 2 pm called “Dealing with Loneliness & Isolation: How to get Connected”.

This workshop will explore how to cope with feelings of loneliness and isolated circumstances, and ways to become more connected while at and outside University.

It will look at:

• recognising and managing loneliness and related feelings and thoughts
• exploring some causes and reasons for loneliness and barriers to reaching out/social integration
• how we can feel more comfortable alone and appreciate time by ourselves
• practical ways to meet people & improve our connection to self and others

An opportunity to interact and share experiences in a safe space if you wish, the two hour workshop is partly an information-based session but will also provide some opportunity for interaction, discussion and questions. However, verbal participation is not expected and there will be an opt-out option for any interactive aspects. We want you to feel comfortable and enjoy the session and are taking precautions to guarantee your anonymity when attending where possible.

The format of the online session will mainly be one or two presenters speaking to a power point slide presentation and online break-out rooms in the latter half of the workshop will be provided for those who wish to stay and chat.

So, make a tea, sit back and join us – let's find a way through this together.

Book your place through My Future events or, for more info, email counselling@napier.ac.uk or telephone 0131 455 2459.
