Recruit For Spouses Wellbeing Programme: free online places available

RFS Wellbeing Programme - for military spouses and partners.

There are a limited number of places available on a free wellbeing programme tailored to military spouses and partners. Held online and over three live sessions – you’ll need to be able to attend all three in order to secure your place:

28th September, 5th October, 12th October, 9:30–11:30am (UK time)

That's what this programme is for. You'll learn to:
  • Regulate a nervous system that's been on high alert for years, with tools chosen for you, not a one-size-fits-all script
  • Name what you're feeling, from emotional isolation to the strain of deployments, so you can finally do something about it
  • Set boundaries and properly ask for support
  • Feel understood from the first session, live and online, alongside 19 others who already get it
One spouse from a previous cohort said: "This programme is brilliant in helping you deal with the coping methods and boundaries to protect yourself, and effectively communicate what you need and why."

There are limited spaces available, across 3 live online sessions:

28th September, 5th October, 12th October, 9:30–11:30am (UK time)

Completely free, and you'll need to attend all three to secure your place.
