Welcome to The Wellbeing Network
The Wellbeing Network aims to move away from a medical model of mental health and work more with a preventative model – recognising the need for individuals to access non-clinical / medical resources to enable them to improve their health and wellbeing.
An important part of the ‘preventative approach’ is the provision of information so that everyone can be fully informed about what is available in their community, what things might work to help them through difficult periods and most of all to empower people to take ownership of their own wellbeing.
Covid-19 presents us with unprecedented challenges. Keeping ourselves well, physically and mentally is very important at the moment. Cork Kerry Community Healthcare Principal Psychology Manager, Daniel Flynn has put together some advice for us all on how to manage our mental wellbeing through a series of videos on the Cork Kerry Community Healthcare YouTube Channel.
From 5th April you can view a new resource called ‘5 WAYS over 5 DAYS’ on the YouTube Channel. Related downloadable resources are; Effective Use of Mindfulness, Managing My Sleep, Coping with Distress, Managing My Emotions, Finding Calm.
