De-Stress December: Surviving the Rush with Calm and Clarity

The festive season can bring exhaustion. Learn how to remain calm and grounded through mindfulness, breathwork, and stress-reduction techniques during this demanding time.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how stress affects the nervous system.
• Practise calming strategies like deep breathing and grounding.
• Create a mini “calm plan” for managing end-of-term stress.

Supporting others starts with supporting yourself. This ten-part Wellbeing Webinar Series for Special Needs Assistants (SNAs) is designed to guide, inspire, and nurture those working at the heart of inclusive education. Running monthly from September to June, each session explores a different theme—from optimism and mindfulness to nourishment and rest—offering practical tools, reflective space, and emotional support. Rooted in research and shaped by real classroom experiences, the series encourages SNAs to prioritise their own wellbeing so they can continue to show up with calm, clarity, and compassion. Whether you’re seeking to reduce stress, boost resilience, or simply carve out a moment for
yourself, this series is your monthly invitation to pause, breathe, and grow.
