Self Care training courses

Self care is an umbrella term for all the things we do to proactively look after ourselves. Our holistic approach is evidence informed and recognises the interconnectedness of all the areas of our wellness; physical, emotional, social, behavioural and psychological.

Why Self Care training is important

At some point in our lives our mental health will be impacted by events or stressors. We will come into contact with people who are similarly impacted by stress and mental health issues.

By demystify mental health concepts and encouraging people to talk openly about their emotional state, we can reduce stigma and begin to build mentally healthy workplaces and communities. By doing so we promote connection, empathy and inclusion and create firm foundations for our wellbeing.

Vicarious Trauma

Vicarious trauma is a natural response when someone is exposed to trauma stories and experiences of others. It is not a sign of weakness, it’s an occupational risk faced by anyone who is exposed to severe and ongoing trauma at work. This course explores and highlights the importance of learning skills in guarding against vicarious trauma including the practice of regular self-monitoring and self-care activities.

Lifeline’s Vicarious Trauma training is intended to help individuals manage the risk of developing vicarious trauma by using tools to encourage self-regulation and promote resilience.

Experience based programs

Human-centric

The most useful thing I learned was neuroplasticity and how practicing skills such as mindfulness, empathy and awareness, can lead to increased wellbeing. like the Reflect, Act, More framework and how to apply that in my life.
