Kintsugi HOPE Well being courses

We run this 6-12 week course regularly (6 weeks for youth and students, 12 weeks for adults), meeting once a week for an hour and a half within a small group setting (no more than 12 in a group). 

Who is Kintsugi Hope for and what does it involve?
A Kintsugi Hope wellbeing group offers a safe, inclusive space, where participants can find a community that offers support and practical tools that promote emotional and mental wellbeing. 

These groups provide a structured yet adaptable series of facilitated conversations, blending group discussion with individual activities that empower participants to embrace their unique selves, recognise their inherent worth and build a more resilient, hope filled future.

 What are the topics?

Honesty
Disappointment & Loss
Depression
Shame
Anger
Self-acceptance
Perfectionism
Forgiveness
Anxiety
Healthy relationships
Resilience
 

How much does it cost?
If you are able to afford it, we suggest a donation of £10 to contribute towards the cost of the course booklet and weekly refreshments but it isn’t a problem if you can’t afford this.

 So why 'Kintsugi Hope'?

 Kintsugi Hope is not just a charity. They have a vision of starting a movement of Kintsugi Hope Wellbeing Groups where people can experience:

• Safety and support where there is no shame and embarrassment in struggling
• An increase in self-worth, confidence and wellbeing
• A deeper understanding of the reality of God's love for them
• Clear pathways to receive additional support if needed.

The Kintsugi HOPE vision is to create, 'A world where mental and emotional health is understood and accepted, with safe and supportive communities for everyone to grow and flourish'.

Here at Portswood Church, we echo that sentiment and strive to be a safe and supportive church for everyone to grow and flourish.
