Resilience Training

Mental Health Awareness

Spotting signs and symptoms of mental health

We explore the concept of mental health and good mental hygiene and outline the signs of when mental wellbeing is less than optimal, and the steps that can be taken to reinforce resilience or support someone else who might be struggling. We think about the barriers to addressing mental health setbacks and how participants can begin to overcome them.

Burnout

In this workshop, we look at what burnout is, where it comes from, and offer tools to help individuals and teams develop resilience skills. We take a holistic, systemic view of burnout, in which it’s not only the responsibility of the individual to avoid burnout but a team effort.

The ability to carry on and thrive in the face of adversity

Aiming to help participants assess and improve their resilience, with a focus on both the workplace and life more generally. Includes how to identify and enhance existing strengths, maximise resources and how to reduce factors that might impair resilience. We offer the space to reflect on threats to resilience and how to cope with those unexpected challenges to resilience.

We take a positive approach to individual and team wellbeing by incorporating meaning and values which help in feeling more engaged, vibrant and fulfilled.

Taming Anxiety

In this workshop, we identify the signs and symptoms of persistent and harmful anxiety and offer compassionate approaches to help confront anxieties. Using evidence-based techniques, we illustrate the anxious mindset, what maintains it and how to address it with practical, accessible strategies and exercises for mind and body.

Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention

Addressing the need to talk about suicide and suicidal thoughts, we build motivation and confidence in addressing the issues that can contribute to this. This also includes how to look after yourself and others, with practical information around managing conversations and providing support within their means. The aim is to facilitate confidence in speaking about suicide, and our specialists will encourage conversations around this difficult topic.

Grief and Loss

We sensitively consider our own fears or barriers to talking about death and dying, and tools for looking after our wellbeing. We introduce models to deepen understanding of the grief process and share practical tips for having conversations around loss and what can be done for the bereaved whether it’s yourself, an employee or your team.

Leadership

Effective Leadership

This explores what makes an effective leader and how to reflect on one’s own management style. We also take time to think about the complexities of management and use scenarios to explore different ways to manage these. This workshop aims to leave both new and seasoned managers feeling more confident and equipped to deal with the challenges of management.

This looks at the framework managers can adopt to allow employees to be as healthy and productive as they can be. It includes steps that can be taken across all levels and for both teams and individuals.

Managing Difficult Conversations

This workshop aims to improve confidence in having difficult conversations with others. Whether it is checking in with how they are or having to bring up a difficult topic, many people struggle with knowing the right way to have these conversations. This workshop aims to remove the anxiety around having difficult conversations and equip people with the knowledge and skills to be a supportive colleague.

Life Skills

Overcoming Perfectionism

This workshop teaches how to delineate between healthy striving and perfectionism. Participants will learn to objectively assess the helpfulness of the underlying beliefs that drive perfectionism, in order to become more accepting of the self and others regardless of performance.

Work-Life Balance

Struggling with the demands of multiple roles is a common problem and the consequences on mental health can be detrimental. Yet it can be extremely hard to create a healthy work-life balance. These workshops help people look at how to manage these tensions, deploy our energy and create more balance whilst still being high performers.

Participants engage in mindfulness practice together so people experience the benefits and can learn to do it by themselves.
