Upcoming Wellbeing Wednesdays
Embracing change
Time 11:00 - 11:45
Change is inevitable yet navigating it can be one of life’s greatest challenges. Why do we resist it and how can we embrace it? Join us as we explore the psychology behind change, including cognitive and emotional responses, and strategies to move from resistance to acceptance. Learn about habit formation, mindset adaptation and resilience-building tools. This session is ideal for anyone facing personal or professional transitions. Plus, it will offer insights to better understand reactions to change and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Is it bullying or banter?
Time 11:00 - 11:45
In high-pressure environments like rail or construction, banter is often part of the job. But when does harmless fun cross the line into bullying? This session tackles the fine balance between camaraderie and crossing boundaries, helping you recognise the difference and build a positive work culture. Through real-world scenarios and practical insights, we’ll explore how to keep the site, and office, a safe and respectful place for everyone—without losing the laughs. Perfect for anyone who wants to strengthen team morale, boost productivity, and ensure everyone feels valued.
Skin cancer
Time 11:00 - 11:45
This session raises awareness about risk factors, early detection, and prevention of melanoma, which is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Learn how to protect yourself with sun-safe habits, including proper use of sunscreen, shade, and protective clothing. We’ll explain SPF (Sun Protection Factor), which measures sunscreen effectiveness, and UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor), which rates fabric UV-blocking ability. By understanding these essentials, you can reduce your risk and safeguard your skin for life. Stay informed, stay protected!
