Course Outline

• This is a six-week writing for wellbeing course. Provided at no cost by PoetsIN, registered UK charity.
• At the beginning of the six weeks, you will be asked to complete a wellbeing questionnaire.
• Each week you will be tasked with a Journaling task, an activity, and a reflection task. Should the team deem it needed, we may include extra tasks that focus on core areas that need further care.
• The week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. All tasks should be completed by the end of the week and submitted. Please note: from time-to-time, a member of the team may check in with your progress to ensure your safety.
• At the end of the week, a member of the team will grade your work, and return it to you, some may have comments and feedback, some may not have.
• The next week will then begin.
• At the end of the six week course, you will be asked to repeat the wellbeing questionnaire.
• If you find you are still needing support, you may contact helpme@poetsin.com where you may be offered further help should we have the resources to help.
