Stress less for wellbeing: a new 8-week course in April 2026
Stress can affect us all in a variety of different ways.
Our 8-week series of workshops explores the impact of stress on our overall daily well-being. Open to everyone in our New Forest, Totton and Waterside community, it provides an opportunity for you to consider your resilience, gain a better understanding of your responses to stress, and learn new coping strategies to help manage them.
The course of eight workshops will take place at the Coates Centre in the grounds of Oakhaven (Lower Pennington Lane, Lymington SO41 8ZZ, on Mondays between 10 am and 12.30 pm, and will include the following elements:
- Understanding stress and the holistic impact it has on our wellbeing
- Five pillars of wellbeing
- The importance of relaxation
- Complementary therapies and how they can help symptom management of stress
- Holistic self-therapy, putting yourself at the centre of your own wellbeing plan
- Smart goals to achieve a reduction in stress
Each session will build your awareness and understanding, using a range of practical activities, therapies, remedies and mindfulness approaches to help you build your own wellbeing plan.
Please note this is not an urgent or crisis service and is intended as an educational, rather than clinical workshop.
The course will start on Monday 13th April 2026, from 10am to 12.30pm, and will run for 8 consecutive weeks.
