I founded The REST EASY Method with a view to preventing mental illness.  The method is a self-help tool that teaches people how to manage emotions, build resilience, develop self-awareness & grow empathy.

REST EASY is a acronym for Recognise Emotions, Stop, Think, Engage Awareness & Support Yourself.  An individual can apply it to work out how they can support themselves to feel better.  It can also be used as a vehicle to decide whether they'd like to ask for additional support.

The REST EASY Method helps people to manage everyday emotions that might become a problem if not processed at an early stage.  It uses mindful principles & the concept of riding the wave of emotions. It's a universal, coherent method that focuses on coming into the resilience zone & knowing yourself as an individual therefore knowing how to support yourself.

Preventing mental illness is particularly important to me as I lived with social anxiety & body dysmorphic disorder throughout my teens & early adult life.  I feel mental illnesses such as these can be prevented if we give people the right tools to manage their emotions.   

It's therefore my dream & goal to introduce The REST EASY Method to as many people as possible over the coming year.  I intend to do this through schools, colleges, universities, libraries, Scout & Girlguiding organisations, leisure centers, job centers, youth clubs, community groups, respite care providers, social housing groups, social prescribing & voluntary sectors.

I've been working towards obtaining Government funding for this but it has been delayed due to Brexit.  I therefore need to raise the money as soon as possible in order to roll out the proposal this year.  

The method is supported by a REST EASY Zone which is a safe area where people can go to practice the method using the resources provided.  These resources include emotions fans, cards, pictures, books & an interactive website / app.

I need to raise the money in order to develop the website / app, train REST EASY Coaches & create the resources. 

Your kind donations would be allocated as follows:-

Website & App  £20,000
Online CPD Training School for Coaches & Practitioners £5000
Training Materials £5000
REST EASY printed resources, activities & books for schools £10000
Sponsorship for social prescribing to REST EASY Circles approx £5000
Sponsorship for schools £10000
Sponsorship for Scouts, Guides & Youth Groups £5000
Set up REST EASY Zone in public areas £20000

As a life coach, mindful practitioner, wellbeing educator & community radio presenter I currently help people to support themselves emotionally & find their purpose. 

It is my purpose to help people to fulfill their potential & prevent mental suffering.  By raising this money I'll be able to deliver The REST EASY Method to as many people as possible in a timely manner, this will not only prevent mental illness but also allow children & future generations to fulfill their potential.

I'm so grateful for any support you can offer as it really will help thousands of people live with mental wellbeing.  I'll be posting regular updates to show the progress we're making through your wonderful donations. Thank you so much Emily xx
