November 2024 - Final Network Meeting

We had our final Own My Life facilitator networking meeting & managed to share so many ideas and tips.

From how to break up information-heavy sections (I loved the idea of cutting out & laminating the various Bidderman personalities to stick around the room - now available HERE on the e-Hub) to adapting the sessions for women with learning disabilities. 

We spoke about the value of good connections with referral agencies & the value of being able to offer the course online to women, for example in rural communities, who may find it difficult to physically reach venues. 

Having one-to-one sessions when needed or at least midway through the course was also something that came up as being really useful, especially in understanding how the group dynamics were working & which areas women were finding difficult or needing to take a break from.

There were many other conversations between the amazing facilitators who attended the meeting from across the UK, however the final thing I'll share is something we worked on together, a resource that had been on our minds & in our hearts to do for some time…for ourselves!

These were the ideas the group came up with of things we can do to look after ourselves.

And somehow, from a room full of diverse women, I came away with a perfect blueprint for what my 2025 will look like! 

Thank you to everyone, it’s been great connecting with you all!
