Woodland wellbeing days


Woodland wellbeing days
The Psychotherapist in Paediatric Psychological Support Service (PPSS) at the Alex is running some Woodland Wellbeing Days, funded by Rockinghorse, for children with long term medical conditions.
These sessions are aimed at helping to build self-esteem, promote emotional resilience and give children a fun day out that helps build their confidence. They are also a great way for young people to meet others living with chronic medical conditions, helping to reduce their sense of isolation and difference.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic it’s been much harder for groups to meet indoors. And as we still don’t know when these restrictions are likely to ease, the PPSS decided to make use of the outdoors so they can still offer a type of therapeutic support.
The sessions will take place at the wilderness site in Stanmer Park in Brighton and will involve playing games, building dens and learning how to light fires using steels – all surrounded by and involving nature.
