Stress can affect us all in a variety of different ways.

Open to everyone in our New Forest, Totton and Waterside community, it provides an opportunity for you to consider your resilience, gain a better understanding of your responses to stress, and learn new coping strategies to help manage them.

The course of eight workshops will take place at the Coates Centre in the grounds of Oakhaven (Lower Pennington Lane, Lymington SO41 8ZZ, on Mondays between 10 am and 12.30 pm, and will include the following elements:

• Five pillars of wellbeing
• The importance of relaxation
• Complementary therapies and how they can help symptom management of stress
• Holistic self-therapy, putting yourself at the centre of your own wellbeing plan
