Tools for the Tough Stuff

Listening – without judgement, internal distractions or seeking solutions – is powerful. It can fundamentally change a workplace by building trust, nurturing relationships and allowing for growth. It can even save a life. 

 

It’s also easier said than done. This empowering, interactive session builds on basic theoretical learning (e.g. from Mental Health First Aid) and dives deep into the skills needed to be a truly great listener – to colleagues and friends alike. 

More young people are self-harming than ever before, and although self-harm is not a suicide attempt (more often, it is a way to stay alive) still, it is high risk behaviour. 

 

We owe it to young people we work with to educate ourselves about self-harm, so we can speak with them both candidly and caringly, build deep trust, and when they are ready, support them to find healthier long-lasting strategies to help them cope with the stresses of life.

A safe and informal facilitated discussion about the (approximately) 1 in 7 humans whose brains work slightly differently to the ‘neurotypical’ majority.

 

People who are 'neurodivergent' see the world in different and fascinating ways.

 

Let’s discuss how these differences are a valuable variation, an important part of human diversity and something to be celebrated!

We don't want to imagine it ever happening, so when a colleague dies, managers often don't know how best to respond and support their team - especially as they are often grieving themselves too. 

​

In this session I bring your team together, and offer you a safe space in which to begin to process your shared and individual grief.
