Owing to the success of the original BE HUMAN Model, the following resilience, well-being and development training day has been designed for staff to further gain understanding of their existing empathic abilities when facing adversity. With focus on the importance of self compassion and positive psychology to develop emotional resilience and guard against compassion fatigue.

 

Drawing on the BE HUMAN Model and honest, real content from Carolyn, this development training day supports staff to explore facing adversity, challenging emotions, to help protect against the impact on secondary trauma. Those attending will gain confidence in building connectivity with their own emotions, colleagues and those using their services. They will develop insight and skills to reframe personal challenging thoughts to build resilience and positivity, putting their wellbeing at the heart of the training.
