Wellbeing
In his meetings with his disciples after his resurrection, Jesus repeated said 'Peace be with you'. The word he would have used for 'peace' is 'shalom', a Hebrew word which is arguably better translated now as 'wellbeing' - a holistic term encompassing physical, emotional and spiritual health. Following all the disruption and pain of the pandemic, we may feel we're not doing too well. We want to help. These tools and courses are to support you in finding wellbeing in every area of life.
A good first step is to download and complete one of these 'My pandemic experience' forms from CPAS - you can do this on your own or with your household.
