Rise up with Risingholme<br />
Term 2 Courses<br />
The events of COVID-19 have shone<br />
a light on protecting and maintaining<br />
our well-being and made us aware of the<br />
importance of social connectedness, family,<br />
lifestyle, and community. With all of this<br />
in mind, Risingholme has coordinated a<br />
Wellbeing Series of courses to support the<br />
community in their next steps out of the<br />
covid cloud.<br />
Your brain is like your body – it gets<br />
stronger when you exercise it. There is a<br />
lot of research that suggests learning new<br />
skills keeps your brain young and fit. In one<br />
study, 256 people with mild to moderate<br />
anxiety took part in community education,<br />
the courses covered a wide variety of topics,<br />
from yoga to creative writing. The study<br />
found that after completing the courses,<br />
most participants reported feeling less<br />
isolated during their courses. They also<br />
experienced better wellbeing and less severe<br />
symptoms, and this improvement lasted for<br />
12 months.<br />
By doing a Risingholme course, you can<br />
find a new hobby, make new friends, and<br />
upskill your life by taking on an enjoyable<br />
challenge. At Risingholme we offer fun<br />
short courses in so many areas that can not<br />
only fit around your life, but better it!<br />
