Here’s what people are saying about Take a minute:
“Taking a minute to pause and reflect on our self-care practices has been transformative for our whole team.”
“I’ve not seen this approach to anything to do with mental health before. I thought it was quite innovative. Its simplicity made me think is it really worth doing? But eventually the more I return to look at it, yes. It is worth doing.”
“What I found is it really did make me think about what's important to me and what I like and what makes me happy, and I never asked myself those questions before.”
“It prompted me to think about different aspects of my wellbeing, and increase my awareness of things in my life that I already do to maintain my wellbeing.”
