Excitement builds for what is going to come out of Friday and Saturday's training

Now the first "A Good Week" is over, what do you do in the same building?

Hastings / St Leonards 

Action for Happiness 

& Mediation Support Centre

At the centre by St Leonards Warrior Square Station, the UK's leading "Action for Happiness" group & Mediation Support Ltd provides:

• Happiness 101 sessions (as an introduction to developing "life's most important skill")
• Support for setting up local well-being groups. (These groups generate mutual support & skills sharing within neighbouring streets)
• The first UK depot for www.streetbank.com - hundreds of household resources being shared via the Southwater Area Community Centre.
• A space for free complementary medicine sessions for the local community.
• Support with inter-personal conflicts and award-winning innovation in communication between crime victims, their offenders and the wider community.
• Courses which support personal empowerment and the ability to "harvest the fruits of all the conflicts we inevitably have".
• "Good Weeks" and "Festival Tents which offer a happiness experience" (Some earlier work Paul did in a free tent got written-up in the book "The Moneyless Man" -extract here)

The work of the Hastings/ St Leonards Action for Happiness & Mediation Support Centre & it's founder, Paul Crosland, has been endorsed not only by the local MP, but by a partner-charity (the Centre for Peaceful Solutions), by youth offending team and police staff, and by a quick petition from over 40 people who engaged with and supported our work during our recent agoodweek, and who all wanted us to ask for rent money for the voluntary work to continue for the coming year.
Some of these endorsements are on:

the back of Wednesday's wellbeing card

Savouring every experience is the essence of today's one of 'Five ways for Well-Being'. 

This also means being open to difficulties and noticing what we can and can't do.

The letter in The Hastings & St Leonards Observer 10^th June -”We need to act if we want justice”, said that if we want those who were on the pier last 5^th October to take responsibility for their actions, or anyone else to take some responsibility for something, we have one thing in particular we can do. We can model the change we want to see and take responsibility for something we have done in our past, for which someone else bears a grievance.

The 'Extra Acts of Kindness list' handed out on Monday suggested: “Say sorry. (You know who to)”.

The Grievance questionnaire (online) may help prepare you, and the spirit of agoodweek there's
 a free mediation service available.
Free consultations over your grievances are available by phone or in person 
on Tuesday 5^th July, Weds 6^th, Thurs 7^th, Friday 8^th 
-book via the contact form on www.mediationsupport.info 
or ring/text Paul on the phone number that's on www.telephonemediation.org.uk
