What is a Happy Café?
(Taken from actionforhappiness.org)
A Happy Café is a café that is part of the Happy Café Network created by members of the Action for Happiness movement. It is a place where those seeking happier lives for themselves and others can connect with each other over a coffee and learn science-based skills for enhancing psychological wellbeing. These skills are set out in the Ten Keys to Happier Living, which include developing good relationships, doing good for others, taking a positive approach, trying out new things and being comfortable with who you are.- Listenening to a relaxation or mindfulness podcast
- Watching an inspirational short video
- Speaking to a Well Bee and finding out what support they can access
- Get a neck and shoulder massage
- Join a guided mindfulness session led by Solent Health’s very own teacher
- Do some mindful colouring
- Write inspiring post-it pledges for a Happiness Wall
- Carry out an act of kindness –writing notes for a SU supported local community charity
