Skills for Managing Through Challenging Times
Are you struggling with the live streaming of genocide and the other polycrises facing the world?
Is the current political climate constantly feeling overwhelming?
Do you want to manage better so that you can stay engaged with things that matter to you?
So often the advice for those of us who are feeling under threat or overwhelmed by the horror-filled news cycle is to limit time spent reading, watching and talking about it. That doesn’t actually resource us to be able to engage with the causes that are important to us though. In this workshop, we will be looking at how you can build the capacity and resources to stay informed and be actively engaged.
The learning intentions of this half day (3 hour) workshop are:
Explore the difference between emotional avoidance, emotion regulation and managing our state,
Identify a variety of ways we can manage during challenging times such as this,
Consider how to put these into practice in our daily lives.
It can be booked by individuals (check here for upcoming workshops) or organisations on request.
Working Cross-Culturally 101

Explore our own identities as a foundation for working cross-culturally,
Develop skills for discussing privilege and oppression,
