7 February 2023Ever thought about surfing your troubling thoughts away? Recently, BBC One aired an episode of We Are England on a group of emergency service workers in north Devon who have taken part in a surf therapy program called Surfwell. Surfwell has been working with front-line workers and emergency service providers to help improve staff well-being, workplace performance and resilience. The programme involves group exercises, mindfulness, surfing and one-on-one conversations. Although this program is only for those who work in emergency services, other work has looked at the potential for surfing to benefit the well-being of different groups of people.
