Understanding Mental Health & Wellbeing Talk
2024-02-08 19:30 - 21:30 | Royal Torbay Yacht Club, 12 Beacon Terrace, Torquay, TQ1 2BH,, United Kingdom
The term mental health is often used but rarely adequately defined. Its use spans everything from our own sense of wellbeing to clinical disorders that require involuntary inpatient treatment. In this talk I will give an overview of the territory, before going on to discuss how we can all attend to our own mental wellbeing and that of people around us.
There will be time at the end for Q&A. Please send any questions or areas that you would like me to address during the talk to: doctorljones@gmail.com
Bio:    Dr Lindsay Jones a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) Therapist and Yoga Therapist.

Course pre-requisites: None

You will need to bring:
Essentials:

Wetsuit: Staying warm will help you to concentrate on the fun stuff.
Sturdy footwear: sailing boots or footwear you don’t mind getting wet. You don’t want to stub your toe.
Waterproof sunscreen and sunglasses floating or with a strap.
Hat: Baseball hat will keep the sun off your face and sun out of your eyes.
Water bottle: Stay hydrated! Aim for a reusable bottle to minimize plastic waste.
Lunch and snacks: Pack light, energy-rich foods that won’t get squished in your bag.
Towel and change of clothes: It’s highly likely you’ll get wet – and most likely capsized! Be prepared to dry off and change into something comfortable afterwards.

Gloves: Protect your hands from rope burns and blisters. They don’t have to be sailing gloves, any light gloves with good grip are ideal.
Waterproof bag: Keep your valuables safe and dry. However, any valuable items should be left at home or in the sailing club.
First-aid kit: Always be prepared for minor bumps and scrapes.
