What’s included?
Evidenced-based content
There are three sources for the EmPower Programme - Clinical psychology, psychological therapy, and a huge amount of lived experience, trial, error, and improvement. We provide a series of evidenced programmes to EmPower you to make a fast and permanent positive change to your mood, focus and energy. We have developed and tested with pilot groups globally, the format, the content and the technology and we are overseen by an advisory board made up of specialists qualified in therapy and clinical psychology.
Macro measures of wellbeing
Everything in the EmPower programme is focussed on helping you improve the three macro-measures of wellbeing:
I can direct and control my own life
I have healthy and happy relationships
I have good emotional health
We will focus in detail on these three areas during the seminar to help you personalise the programme accordingly. Your ongoing feeling check will also include these three macro measures.
Personalised 12 week programme
The programmes we offer at EmPower recognise that you are a unique individual and use your own insights and analysis to EmPower you to build your own 12-week programme.
We kick off with a seminar so you can learn about emotions and gain insight into your own fears and dreams.
You then work with one of our team to design a 12-week programme for yourself which is simple, easy and enjoyable to do.
Group support
Connection is at the heart of EmPower. You cannot do this alone. We know that group connection is an essential component of making EmPower work for clients. It’s one of the three macro-measure of wellbeing of the programme.Take the time to get to know your group (we help you with this a lot!). You’re all on this journey together and as you will learn leaning into the group on the good, bad and ugly days will become very natural.
You will be invited to join your groups WhatsApp Group along with weekly online meetings along with invites to attend short online refresher seminars at four-week intervals and a graduation ceremony at the end.
Trained professionals
During all our seminars there is a trained mental health professional in the room/online with our team and you will have the option of one-to-one discussions with them as required. Everything you discuss during these discussions is confidential.
This professional support continues throughout the 12-week programme with a trained mental health professional always on hand.
Motivation & measure of success
We provide you with an app to motivate and measure your progress. During the seminar, you will build your personalised tracker in our app. You will have access to this throughout your 12-week programme to track and measure your progress along with completing our wellbeing survey every 4 weeks.
The results from clients match or exceed the outcomes that our founder experienced, which makes us all very happy indeed. So far, clients are reporting an average of 31% improvement in their feelings of wellbeing (a big increase) and are expressing a lot of joy in the process. Several say they feel it has been life-changing.
Empowering you to make a fast and permanent positive change
At EmPower, we’re all about helping you to strengthen your emotional health. This means helping you feel better about yourself, your place in the world and your relationships with other people. We provide a series of evidenced programmes to EmPower you to make a fast and permanent positive change to your mood, focus and energy.
What problem does EmPower OPEN solve?
We are all much more aware of the importance of looking after our emotional and mental health. We are more aware of our emotional state and the risk factors than we ever have been. We are encouraged to open up and talk about our thoughts and feelings and to seek help if needed. For far too many people, there is no simple answer to the question: ‘What can I do?’
By this we mean; what actions can you take to strengthen your own emotional health? Just like physical health, it takes training to improve emotional health. This is the problem we are solving – EmPowering you to take your own set of actions and re-train your emotional health. Every person is different, so everybody’s training programme is different. You work with our team to design your own unique programme that is achievable and motivational for you.
