What is the Minding Your Wellbeing programme?

This programme provides a unique opportunity for people to learn more about key elements of mental wellbeing such as mindfulness, gratitude, self-care and resilience. As the public continue to adapt their lifestyles to deal with COVID-19 and are faced with different challenges in this context, Minding Your Wellbeing aims to provide simple tools and guidance for people to develop and maintain a positive outlook by looking after their mental health and wellbeing.
