Understanding Mental Health Disorders
2024-05-15 12:30 - 13:30 | Baker Street Hub, 62-64 Baker Street, London, W1U 7GB, United Kingdom
As part of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, we have invited Kevin Moore from mental health training experts BDLD to come and deliver a 1-hour session for us.
Very few of us have learnt about mental health disorders from an objective, reliable source. Think of any disorder and ask yourself “where did I learn what I think I know about it?”
During this session Kevin will cover:

Common mental health disorders versus severe and enduring.
Common myths around disorders.
NHS treatment.
Supporting colleagues who live with disorders – the law and available support.

As ever, expect a lively session – Kevin is known for his energetic delivery and innovative content!

The class offers space for stretching and strengthening the body without judgment or expectation.
The practice is open level and beginner friendly.
Your instructor: Sarah is a passionate yoga instructor with a background in nutrition and wellbeing. Her classes will guide you through a dynamic flow, where you can find space for stretching, lengthening, exploring and letting go. Sarah will leave you energized and with a grateful feeling for your body and mind.
