IAmConfident
IAmConfident provide support to vulnerable women of all ages who feel isolated and lost and struggle with their mental health and life setbacks. To achieve this, we run annual weekly sessions to help them reset many areas of their lives by getting back to basics. We discuss subjects like, worry, eating habits, exercise, negative thought patterns, and well-being goals. We provide hope, rebuild confidence, and help women to feel they have a purpose so they can connect to the community and start to enjoy life again. We aim to partner with local community groups to reach more vulnerable women.
Who we are and what we do:
We are two women who have a heart for empowering and equipping women of all ages and backgrounds to feel confident and capable. The IAmConfident logo symbolises the power of speaking out the words, 'I Am' Brave, Resilient, Valued, and Capable and ultimately help the women to believe them. These words are woven into all the sessions. We hope to continue to provide sessions to reach women who are not only challenged by life setbacks but are also isolated, lost and struggle with their mental health and anxiety.
The format of each session is split into 4 sections. The first part we discuss 5 elements that focus on how the person is and their challenges but also recognise the good and what they can be grateful for. We do some simple stretches, breathing exercises and a mindful activity. We then discuss a relatable subject that challenges each person but also provides strategies to improve and develop. Lastly, we finish with a craft activity, for example, clay modeling, face pack making or a vision board. The activities help reduce anxiety, build confidence, and laugh together. We provide a journal, activity worksheets, plus a certificate of achievement after completing a term of sessions.
We want to see more women of all ages and backgrounds feel connected, safe, and validated. So that they can slowly build resilience, and a strong belief system and feel more equipped to get started on a more positive and rewarding journey of hope and excitement for life, as they learn to see things from a different and more hopeful perspective.
