Finding your way - Sands Awareness Month

June is Sands awareness month, with this month's theme being Finding Your Way

Derby Sands is embracing the initiative on Finding Your Way after pregnancy loss and baby loss and seeking support in a way that is right for each parent. Within this, we believe that this encompasses mental and physical health. So, we are holding a special evening of talks and advice on the best ways to look after your physical and mental well-being through alternative therapies. There will be nibbles, soft drinks and derby Sands befrienders there to guide you through the evening . This is not a support meeting, but there will be a chance to chat and meet other parents and people who may have shared similar experiences to you. There will be a reiki specialist, a well-being coach and nutritionist available to meet and chat.

There will be the chance to have mini sessions of reiki and find out the true benefits of this ancient Japanese therapy. 

There is also going to be the chance to learn how to crochet and channel creative therapy, and learn how to use art as therapy too.

A nutritionist will be available to talk about the benefits of certain foods, and quick and easy meal ideas that can be helpful when you're at your point of grief, and long afterwards. 

Please join us for an informal evening at The WEA, The Mill, Lodge Ln, Derby DE1 3HB, 7pm- 9pm.

Always loved, never forgotten
