Wellbeing Workshops

A Six Session Occupational Therapy program for CSF-Languedoc.

In 2023 CSF-Languedoc commissioned a 6-week online program exploring activity-based wellbeing. Below you’ll find the six sessions which you can follow along with at your own pace. In the session description, you’ll find handouts and worksheets. I hope you’ll find the content valuable and excuse any spelling mistakes that I hadn’t spotted at the time.

“Wellbeing is not merely the absence of illness, but the presence of meaning, purpose and agency in every moment of life.”

- Rhiannon Crispe of The OT Lifestyle Movement
