Speaker Evening 28th April 2016

          Promoting Positive Mental Health and Wellness in our Homes
 ​
In keeping with the focus of Well-Being Week & Active Schools Week, the Parents Association is delighted to announce an evening with Kay Murphy, of www.aframeofmind.org
 
Kay has an MA in Leadership and Pastoral Care, is a Parent since 1997, Educator since 1990 and is an RSE and Mindfulness Facilitator.
 
Description of talk:
 “Self-care” is a topic that I’ve heard more and more of, and increasingly from a mental health perspective. Why is self-care and wellness so important to so many people?  Why has it become almost intuitive to do the counter-intuitive by being harsh and critical of ourselves? These were some of the questions I asked myself as I began to put myself in the picture. 
You are invited to an evening where

• We will get an overview of issues which affect young people and their health. 
• As parents we will consider the importance of maintaining our own personal health and wellbeing as we review our own self-care plan. 
• We will take time to nourish ourselves through some mindfulness practices and sharing of ideas.

When:      7.30 – 9.00 p.m., Thursday, 28th April 2016
 
Where:    St Brigid’s School Hall
 
This is a free event and is open to everyone.  We hope you will come along and have a very enjoyable and informative evening.
