Introduction
At Still Human we are dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of staff in education, as we believe that when staff thrive, everyone thrives. We deliver workshops in-person and online using evidence-based theory as well as teaching simple practical strategies to maintain good physical and mental health. All our workshops and courses are created by facilitators with a wealth of experience in the education sector who are passionate about improving the wellbeing of staff in our schools and colleges.
Power of Rest
Rest isn’t something that should just happen during school holidays. Nor should it be something we try to cram into a hectic Sunday before the school week begins again. Dedicated downtime is vital to human health. In this workshop, we focus on rest and the essential role it plays in our overall wellbeing, spotlighting its ability to improve concentration, creativity and productivity. We’ll learn about different types of rest, rest deficits and ways to achieve more of it (even on a work day.) We’ll also take a closer look at sleep and ways to get a better night’s sleep.
