It’s been a busy week for our therapy team here at the Foundation as Tuesday saw us host a Wellbeing day at Dale Barracks for nearly 400 soldiers and officers of the Yorkshire Regiment.
Our Founder Andy Reid MBE kick started the day with an opening motivational talk to rally the troops. Our lead Mental Health Counsellor Phil and Wellbeing Advisor Chris, then led group sessions tackling Mental health and Wellbeing, and Addiction prevention. Huge thanks to one of our partner agencies – Allisons Financial, as they also ran vital sessions on Financial planning to help set the soldiers up when they leave.
Phil ran 4 Meditation groups throughout the day, demonstrating the calming effects that meditation has on the Amygdala part of the brain. This results in improved stress management and the ability to solve problems more efficiently.
Here are the guys in action!
Thanks so much to all the officers and soldiers for having us, and for the beautiful shield we were presented with!
