We are offering a three stage approach:

Stage one: Mindfulness Tiny Habits
Staff will be supported to develop mindfulness habits over a three week period by experienced mindfulness facilitators, who are also NHSGGC staff. This will offer an opportunity to get an initial feel of how mindfulness might be benefit you and explore how mindfulness might fit in to your day.
Staff will meet with the mindfulness tutor online using the Teams programme once a week to discuss their experience. This will also provide an opportunity to explore any challenges encountered and /or how you might build on what are already doing.
We will be offering plenty of resources to support you, as well as opportunities to develop your experience of mindfulness further through a mindfulness a Based Stress Reduction Course if this is of interest to you. We will also offer support to maintain a mindfulness practice.
