“to care for others, we also need to make time to care for ourselves”

The first annual Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care System (ICS) Wellbeing Event is taking place from Monday 25 April to Sunday 1 May 2022.

This event is open to all health and care staff and their families, working for organisations based in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent. This week aims to provide some support and reminders to make time to care for yourselves, too.

Speakers include celebrities and world-renowned guest speakers including Sally Gunnell, Andrew Sharman and Michael West. There will be serious, educational, and insightful topics covered via webinars and plenty of fun activities to get involved in! These range from cooking on open fires, to the Japanese Art of Ikigai, to laughter yoga and doodling sessions.

There will even be an organised bedtime reading to help with children’s bedtimes and, on the Friday, a mocktail/cocktail introductory class.

With over 70 sessions spread throughout the week, including weekends and evenings, there is something for everyone. If you cannot make a session that you really want to join, do not worry! All sessions (except Q&As at the end) will be recorded and available to view online afterwards.

There will be prizes and giveaways throughout the week, so make sure you get involved and encourage those around you to get involved too!
