Welcome to North Somerset Wellbeing

Our service is for adults living in North Somerset (or registered with a GP in North Somerset) in need of mental health support and for their carers. We aim to help people develop skills to manage their own mental wellbeing and recovery journey; we do this by running group courses and activities using wellbeing college style techniques.

 If you have any questions about our provision, please contact us at NSWellbeing@second-step.co.uk to talk through your options.

Discover what activities, workshops and courses we have coming up in our calendar below or download our latest prospectus.

FREE online mindfulness practice

Practise mindfulness anytime, anywhere

We are pleased to announce our online guided Mindfulness practice sessions are now open for booking!

These mindfulness exercises are for everyone, whether you're new to mindfulness or you practise mindfulness regularly.

You can use these sessions first thing in the morning to reduce anxiety and get your day going, or as and when needed to manage stress and ground yourself, or how about last thing at night to calm and clear your mind for a restful night’s sleep? It’s up to you.

Book in the same way as our other activities, workshops and courses by filling in our online booking form.

When you book, we'll send you an email with a link to your chosen mindfulness practice along with a handy ‘introduction to mindfulness’ to get you off to the best possible start. You are free to keep your links forever to practise mindfulness whenever you like.

We look forward to you joining us.

Try it out – listen to our taster session Leaves on a Stream below:
