This training session will offer the chance to step back from the everyday demands of managing busy services, connect with others facing similar challenges and learn simple and accessible models that will give you new tools to support your teams and improve wellbeing.
This session is designed with a deep understanding of the extreme pressure and complexity you work in and we understand the need for it to be practical and usable.
Delivered by trainers who have 40 years' experience of working in the refugee sector, this training session will:
Provide the space to help you to reflect on what is within your control in a work setting that increasingly leaves us and the people we support feeling powerless.
Offer simple models from tried and tested therapeutic approaches that will help you to think in new ways about how to have the most supportive and healthiest relationship with your teams.
Support you to think about the right approach to take to improve levels of emotional resilience, wellbeing and safety in your teams.
