| Counting Sheep (Sleep Hygiene) | Obtaining healthy sleep is vital for our physical and mental health. It helps to boost productivity and our overall quality of life. This course will explore some of the reasons we may have trouble getting to sleep, staying asleep and getting enough sleep. We’ll discuss what insomnia is and develop strategies that may help alleviate individual sleep issues. You will be encouraged to look at your personal sleep hygiene to see how improving environment and lifestyle could help establish better sleep patterns and by sharing our experiences around sleep, we can learn from each other and develop better sleep habits. | Hope/Wellbeing |
| Confidence & Assertiveness | Confidence and assertiveness is a skill which requires patience and practice. It can result in positive communication, better decision making and allows you to stand up for yourself. This session will give you the understanding of what confidence and assertiveness each mean (in general and to you personally) and understanding the fight between confidence and failure. We will explore self-worth and how this can boost confidence alongside exploring times when assertiveness is important and how we can develop a more assertive nature. These skills will encompass many aspects of your lives and should have a positive impact on all of them. We aim to build your confidence by empowering each other through sharing stories. | Belonging |

Discovering our character strengths captures our uniqueness and are important to improve a sense of self, greater life satisfaction and positive emotions. Within this session we will take a look at what character strengths are, how these are reflected in your thoughts, feelings and actions to promote wellbeing and how we can start recognizing these. By reflecting on our experiences, we might find areas which we are proud of but also want to work on. At community roots, we can provide you with courses to support this. | Wellbeing |
