Flourish - New Resource for Women

PRACTICAL IDEAS FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING

Flourish! is a packet of practical ideas and activities to help families, children, and adults care for their emotional wellbeing and mental health. It is the outcome of a popular webinar, "Balancing Emotions in an Unbalanced World," developed by Karen Holford. These sixteen topics include tips, ideas, and activities that can help people of all ages choose to experience positive emotions, even when facing challenging circumstances.
Flourish! is being used effectively with Ukrainian and Russian refugees to comfort in sad times, to soothe trauma, and to help cope with a challenging day. Some of the sixteen topics on how to Choose to Manage Thoughts, include Gratitude, Choose Wonder, Choose Laughter, Choose Purpose, and Choose to Help Others by Listening Well. The infographic-style posters are easy to read, and print on one page.
The material is useful for every woman, whatever circumstances they are in.
Karen Holford, director of Family, Women's, and Children's Ministries for the Trans-European Division (TED), encourages translation and adaptation of these materials to use in every part of the globe.
