A great online workshop for young people aged 11 to 16

RESILIENCE LAB ONLINE NORTH SOMERSET💻

The Resilience Lab is all about good mental health! The fun, interactive exercises have been designed to help you learn all about your own resilience.💛

Everyone at some stage in their life is going to be faced with something that they struggle with. Knowing how to get through these tricky times and ‘bounce back’ from them is really important for our health and happiness. At OTR’s Resilience Lab, we can inspire you to do just that.

Resilience Lab online runs as four weekly interactive sessions covering how to manage pressures, make friends with stress, thinking traps, strengths and how to reach out. The aim of Res Lab is to equip you with the knowledge and skills to help manage your mental wellbeing.

It is encouraged that you attend every session but each session works stand-alone too.

At the start of every session there will then be a ‘go round’ where everyone will introduce themselves, sharing their name and a different ice-breaker each week. We ask that you have your camera on and you can either speak or type your answer in the chat.

Well "Hello Summer"......Summer is always a special season wherever you are in the world. Today we are embracing the Summer Solstice: Positive Effects on Humans and Nature

Understanding the Summer Solstice
The summer solstice, a significant astronomical event, marks the longest day and shortest night of the year. Occurring between June 20 and 22 in the Northern Hemisphere, it is a time when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. This event has been celebrated for centuries, symbolizing renewal, growth, and the peak of summer.

Summer arrives that can affect emotional feelings. The Positive Effects on Humans - Enhanced Mood and Mental Well-Being
Exposure to sunlight during the summer solstice has profound effects on human mood and mental health. Sunlight increases the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with happiness and well-being. Higher levels of serotonin can alleviate symptoms of depression, reduce anxiety, and promote a positive mood.

Increased Vitamin D Levels
Sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, essential for bone health and immune system function. During the summer solstice, the extended daylight hours provide more opportunities for outdoor activities, allowing the body to produce sufficient vitamin D. This can lead to stronger bones, improved immune response, and overall better health.

Encouragement of Outdoor Activities
The longer daylight hours of the summer solstice encourage people to engage in outdoor activities. Whether it's hiking, swimming, or simply enjoying a walk in the park, these activities promote physical fitness, reduce stress levels, and enhance overall well-being. The connection with nature during these activities also provides a sense of peace and relaxation.

Social Connection and Celebrations
The summer solstice is often marked by communal celebrations and gatherings. These events foster social connections, creating a sense of community and belonging. Participating in solstice festivals, bonfires, and cultural rituals can enhance social bonds, reduce feelings of loneliness, and contribute to emotional well-being.

The Positive Effects on Nature
Peak of Plant Growth
The summer solstice signifies the peak of the growing season for many plants. The abundant sunlight and warm temperatures accelerate photosynthesis, leading to vigorous plant growth and increased crop yields. This period is crucial for agriculture, providing essential resources for human and animal consumption.
