The programme is based around five separate topics. They are presented by Dr Dawn Harper, a well-known and highly regarded GP in Gloucestershire. The value in the Lighten Up programme is that each topic, in conjunction with an organisation, can be tailored and adapted to suit the needs and issues relevant to the participants. We do not believe in a one size fits all approach.

Each session, in optimum group sizes of 12 to 15, is led by trained facilitators who are experts in helping delegates identify where they need to make changes to their lives. The programme is geared to deliver long-term health and wellbeing benefits leading to improved personal and career development.

The programme covers:

Making Changes This looks at the process of making changes in our lives, what is the best way of achieving our goals, what are the barriers to change and how we can overcome them.

Healthy Lifestyles Following on from the session on how we make changes, this workshop looks at the principles of a healthy lifestyle, and how we can improve our health and well being.

Doing your Day We all hope to have a work life balance and this workshop is an opportunity to look at what we do in our daily lives, how we can prioritise our tasks and manage our time more effectively.

Transform your Thinking How do we look at the world, do we sometimes think negatively about things? What is cognitive behavioural therapy and how can CBT help us understand how we view things and perhaps change to see things more positively and help us to cope with change?

Identifying & Managing Stress This session looks at what causes stress, how we can recognise it and how can we look after ourselves. It brings together all the things covered in the other sessions.

The sessions will be challenging and stimulating, but at the same time deliver real results because they have been developed with expert input from clinical psychologists, physiotherapists, dieticians and senior HR and training professionals.

The programme has been subject to rigorous testing and evaluation and fine-tuned with the help of participants. We are motivated by the fact that delegate feedback and other evidence helps to prove that those taking part in our programme make long-term changes to their lives which have a lasting positive impact on their overall health and wellbeing and work productivity.

Because of the highly flexible nature of our programme it can be incorporated into a series of lunch-time sessions or as an item on a UK-wide conference agenda.
