Preventing and Overcoming Burnout.
A 2-hour course.
Our "Preventing and Overcoming Burnout" course is an intensive, short-format programme designed specifically for health professionals. It delivers practical strategies and insights to help you identify, prevent, and overcome burnout, enabling you to maintain a healthy work life and continue delivering high-quality care to your patients.
Single-Session Therapy, and maximum benefit.
A 1-day course. (12-hour 'online anytime' self-paced version also available.)
All clinicians want to provide patients with the maximum benefit, but many are acutely aware that while they are providing one person with the best they can offer, they are providing ten or more others with nothing at all. And that clearly isn’t equitable, either for the patients concerned or for the clinician, who often feels frustrated and under pressure as a result. This course is designed to illustrate that there is a realistic solution to the dilemma and that a single session input can be surprisingly effective and rewarding, both for patients and clinicians. Appropriately for busy clinicians, this is an suitably short course!
Providing Good Clinical Supervision.
A 2-day course.
The course that shows clinicians how to use pre-existing skills to provide effective clinical supervision, to increase efficiency and enjoyment.
Providing effective clinical supervision is one of the best ways to ensure that people are working as efficiently as possible, avoiding being overwhelmed by big workloads, and continuing to enjoy their work. The aim of the course is therefore, that by the end of the 2 days you will both (a) know about clinical supervision and (b) be good at providing it for the benefit of everybody. And using 1:1 or group formats.
How to develop your good mental health in the workplace, and help your colleagues do the same.
A half day course.
This course spells out what you can do to develop your own mental good health in the workplace, as well as that of your colleagues.
As such it empowers everyone (managers and non-managers alike) to take good care of themselves. It covers (a) the major diagnoses in mental illness, (b) the 4 bases you need to cover to maintain good mental health and help others do so; and (c) how the material covered meshes with your workplace.
Driving good mental health in the workplace: a course for managers and directors.
A 2-day course.
This course is for managers and directors and focuses on how to manage in a way that generates good mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, and doing so in a realistic way that works well for everybody.
Many people spend more waking hours at work than they spend anywhere else, so it is imperative that we do our best to get matters right in the workplace.
So this course spends only a little time on the mental health difficulties that can beset people, and focuses instead on what you as a manager or director can do to foster good mental health and wellbeing in a way that embeds it into your organisation. So we are not talking about mere ‘add-ons’, we are talking about your style and strategy, and operating a style and strategy that is good for your employees and colleagues and therefore is fundamentally good for your organisation in a realistic, practical, and measurable way.
