Butterflies
Kind Words
Butterflies and Butterflies 16-19 is a free fitness and wellbeing session for anyone who identifies as female and non-binary individuals
which encourages positive mental health through movement and open discussion.
We at Butterflies understand how difficult it can be to admit that we need some support. With this in mind, we will try and remove as many barriers to attending as possible, such as the option of messaging facilitators directly so you have a named contact in the session, organising a phone call to talk about the sessions or arranging a named person (who you will have had a chat with) to meet you at the gate and walk in with you.
Once inside, you can expect a warm welcome followed by a warm-up, led by a qualified fitness instructor or personal trainer before a workout, based on your personal fitness levels and personal goals. This will be a 30 minute session followed by a wellbeing chat with like-minded people who can offer advice and support through personal experience. Participants also have the option to join the WhatsApp group for additional support throughout the week.
All facilitators and Trainers are trained in Mental Health First Aid and ASIST (Assured Suicide Intervention Skills Training).
