We’re here to help you to look after your own health and wellbeing
Thank you for visiting the Wellbeing College website. We hope that you find it informative, helpful and easy to use.
We are here to guide you and support you to improve your wellbeing, whatever stage you are at. We have gathered together lots of information about courses, activities and groups that are happening around Bath and North East Somerset to support people’s wellbeing. We hope that you will find something here that interests you, whether it be a one-off activity or a longer term course spread over several weeks. Most of our courses are free and are offered to B&NES residents who are aged 16 and over, or people who are registered with a GP in B&NES.
If you feel rather overwhelmed by the number of courses to choose from why not give us a ring and one of our advisers will help guide you to make an informed choice.
If you would like some 1:1 support and guidance we can offer you a free Wellbeing Advice session. Our adviser can meet up with you for an informal chat at a suitable location near to where you live.

How to take care of your wellbeing at this time
With lots of things currently changing all of the time, its important that we still manage to look after our wellbeing.
With all of the changes currently happening it is even more important to take care of our wellbeing, here is a link to a great article from Mind with lots of practical tips on how we can all do this.
Just to keep you updated on the Wellbeing College as you can see lots of the courses have now been cancelled or postponed due to the ongoing developments in public health but I want to reassure you that we are working hard to be able to offer you other things to help support you instead, some ideas we're working on are online, live classes where you can click a link and join in from home, online wellbeing socials that you can join online to chat to others if you are feeling isolated or if you would like you could receive a phone call from one of our compassionate community connectors.
In the meantime if you're feeling isolated, you could try Turn to Me an online lifeline, or if it's exercise you're looking for try these online yoga classes, or why not walk a mile from home?! You could sign up to be a community volunteer if you are able or try an online CBT course for free! The NHS also has lots of great advice and information for managing your wellbeing during this unusual times too. If you would like to get in touch with the Wellbeing College to discuss what is available in the community for you please email: wellbeingcollege@virgincare.co.uk.
