New focus, early intervention
Just a Thought launches two new wellbeing courses focused on early intervention
Developed with subject-matter experts and whānau with lived experience, both courses offer a practical, accessible option for early-intervention support, helping people build resilience and strengthen wellbeing before things get harder.
Coping with Stress is a four-lesson course grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles. It helps tāngata whai ora understand their own stress responses and build resilience, through practical, evidence-based techniques.
“The course recognises that while stress is unavoidable, how we respond to it is within our control,” says Just a Thought communications and engagement lead, Kimberley de Jardine.
Just a Pause – Intro to Mindfulness is a four-lesson course that supports tāngata whai ora to feel more grounded and calm. It teaches practical mindfulness skills to help connect to the present moment, rather than getting caught up in worries and unhelpful thoughts.
Both courses are free to access and have been made possible through funding from Health NZ | Te Whatu Ora’s Mental Health Innovation Fund.
