Mindfulness
We delivered a two-day mindfulness session to learning-disabled adults. Having the confidence to speak up for a person with a learning disability is essential for their mental health to say what they want from their life and how they want to be treated. Having the tools to de-stress is important for these individuals to enhance their life and create a positive mindset.
Retreat for Learning-Disabled Adults
Nestled on ‘Living Potential Farm’ in the Yorkshire Countryside we ran a retreat for learning-disabled adults.
The woodland wellness retreat in nature supported 8 learning-disabled adults. The feedback from all the attendees was incredible. The attendees were able to speak up about what their wishes were, how being in nature calmed them, how to meditate and understand what mindfulness means.
They filmed each other speaking up on camera saying what being in nature meant to them, this helped them with their confidence of saying what they want and improved their speaking skills.
Speaking up about what they want in their lives is important and finding out how to achieve it can support them to flourish which instantly helps improve their mental health.
