Hants Health and Wellness Team, and HealthyNS have come together to work on a new mental wellness program. We're developing a group-based psychoeducational program on positive self-talk. There are others available in Primary Health Care that are a bit higher level cognitively, or meditative. We have received feedback that those don't work for everyone.
It will be available on-line and in-person. The description of the program is: It can feel overwhelming to learn how to deal with what we say to ourselves. This beginning-level program will define the concept of self-talk and what gets in the way of it being helpful. It will introduce skills to help balance self-talk. Learning objectives include: - Participants will be able to define self-talk - Participants will be able to define negativity bias - Participants will be able to describe a skill they will use to balance their self-talk HealthyNS serves the whole province offering virtual group-based wellness programs and virtual individualized self-management support. Hants Health and Wellness Team is an integrated chronic disease management and wellness team serving West Hants. Both are services of Primary Healthcare with NSH.
