This helps participants understand the importance of boundaries in preventing burnout and fostering respectful interactions.

Having Difficult Conversations with Someone in Distress

This covers techniques for effectively communicating and supporting individuals during challenging times. This equips participants with the skills to handle sensitive conversations and offer support to those in distress.

Participants receive a workbook which summarises the content of the workshop and provides exercises and examples for people to do in their own time.
