Looking after you - social growth

‘Give to others’ and ‘Connect with other people’ are two of the five ways to wellbeing developed by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) in 2008 and adopted by the NHS and multiple businesses and academic institutions. This section directs you to resources around positive relationships and neurodiversity. 

 

If you are worried about your relationship and the way it is making you feel, there are lots of resources available to support you. The NHS Every Mind Matters website Personal lives and relationships - Every Mind Matters - NHS (www.nhs.uk) lists several charities providing relationship advice. ​

The People and Organisational Development Team provide courses and resources to help improve your work relationships. These are divided into the following categories: ​

  • Assertiveness and saying no​

  • Seeking support​

  • Conflict prevention and resolution​

  • Bullying and Harassment​

  • Communication​
