TOGETHER Drug & Alcohol Service Exeter, East and Mid Devon WELLBEING DIRECTORY This is where we hope you will find all that you want in regards to getting active, connected, involved and ‘out there’ in your recovery. We have mapped the best of what your community has to offer and referenced this against the Five Ways to Wellbeing. The Five Ways to Wellbeing came from the New Economics Foundation in 2008 and is an evidence-based and holistic approach to improving mental health and emotional wellbeing. To find out more google ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’. With 168 hours in every week, we hope that this directory is a step toward offering you a straightforward and easy access resource that helps you spread your recovery week and consider all the areas of the Five Ways to Wellbeing in Connecting with others, Learning, getting Active, taking Notice and Giving. We have left a space on the right hand side of the directory for you to put a tick against the activities that you will attend. We would encourage you to make a ‘Plan B’ that covers how you will get out there and do the things you had planned should it be raining, cold or you simply don’t feel like it. Why not link in with one of EDP’s many Flourish Wellbeing Cafés and plan how you will do this with one of our Health Champions, who have completed Level 2 RSPH accredited training - you do not need to make an appointment, and the Cafés are listed in the directory. The directory will be updated every season of the year, and should you be able to spare some time and want to get involved in the co-production of the directory then please call Nik Sutherland, EDP Community Initiatives Manager, on 07738 716625. Developed by the New Economics Foundation in 2008, Five Ways to Wellbeing is an evidence-based and holistic approach to improving mental health and emotional wellbeing, focusing on 5 key actions: Connecting with others, Learning, getting Active, taking Notice and Giving. • Connect: With the people around you. With family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. At home, work, school or in your local community. Think of these as the cornerstones of your life and invest time in developing them. Building these connections will support and enrich you every day. • Learn: Try something new. Rediscover an old interest. Sign up for that course. Take on a different responsibility at work. Fix a bike. Learn to play an instrument or to cook your favourite food. Set a challenge you’ll enjoy achieving. Learning new thigs will make you confident, as well as being fun. • Active: Go for a walk or run. Step outside. Cycle. Play a game. Garden. Dance. Exercising makes you feel good. Most importantly, discover a physical activity that you enjoy and that suits your level of mobility and fitness. • Notice: Be curious. Catch sight of the beautiful. Remark on the unusual. Notice the changing seasons. Savour the moment, whether you are walking to work, eating lunch or talking to friends. Be aware of the world around you and what you are feeling. Reflecting on your experiences will help you appreciate what matters to you. • Give: Do something nice for a friend, or a stranger. Thank someone. Smile. Volunteer your time. Join a community group. Look out, as well as in. Seeing yourself, and your happiness, linked to the wider community can be incredibly rewarding and creates connections with the people around you.
