Four Well-being resources
UDC exists to help people find life in all its fullness through the power of conversation, and right now the conversation about well-being is as important as ever. Whilst we cannot replace the specialist support provided by GPs, the NHS or counsellors, we can start a conversation around well-being with people in our churches and communities. Using evidence-based resources we can provide people with an opportunity to talk, build relationships and explore how they can live well. At UDC we have four resources that have been specifically developed with well-being specialists to help you and others talk, as well as explore ways we can all learn to live life well.
Table Talk for Well-being
This resource is based on the '5 ways to well-being', a set of evidence-based actions supported by the NHS which promote people’s well-being. Each of the themes in this pack is based around one of these five areas. The sixth set uses pictures to depict different emotions, the purpose of this is to help people talk about how they are feeling. This resource is great for young people and adults.
10:10 - Youth Resource
10:10 is an innovative evidence based wellbeing resource now being used across the UK and overseas to help young people discover how to live differently and find their best life. Exploring 10 themes built on spirituality and positive psychology it will give 11-17 year old’s the opportunity to explore different ideas around happiness and the art of living well.
The Happiness Lab
The Happiness Lab is a six-week experiment that enables adults to explore what psychologists, doctors and faith leaders say will make people happier. Based on a series of fly-on-the-wall documentaries delegates follow twelve people as they explore disciplines that support well-being. The idea is that as we observe their journey, space is created enabling us to engage in a conversation about our own happiness.
Table Talk for Change
Following any significant trauma or event, whether that’s a global pandemic or something closer to home, there’s a need to recover well. But how do we do that? Rather than rush into the new and firmly shut the door on what has gone before, it’s important to take time to reflect on what we’ve been through, acknowledge how we’re feeling, and look to what’s ahead. This set of questions provides the opportunity to talk about the past, present and future.
