Allied Health Webinar - “If you are happy and you know it…” – Journalling as a relaxation activity

Venue: This webinar will be via Zoom.
Audience: Healthcare Professionals
Cost: Free admission

Life is filled with many moments. There are times when we are running on a full tank of fuel and there are times when the tank is half full. It is important to find pockets of time on a daily basis to stop, rest and prioritise our overall well-being and happiness. Child Life therapists provide care and support to meet the needs of paediatric patients and their families as they cope with health challenges. One of which pertains to addressing the psychosocial and emotional well-being needs of patients, families and staff.

In this session, our KKH Child Life therapists will share a simple but fun coping technique to inject some creativity and chill in our daily life. Join us as our speakers introduce you to journalling and how it can help to provide you with the 3Rs: Reflection, Resolution and Relaxation!

At the end of this webinar, participants will:
- Gain insights into simple relaxation techniques
- Learn to engage in creative journal making
