This half day CPD introduces staff to wellbeing psychoeducation and practices, along with compassionate communication skills that are essential for effective team working.
In brief, attendees are provided with the opportunity to understand how stressful situations affect our brain and behaviour. This includes exploring how emotions impact brain and body physiological responses, and why ‘threat’ and ‘drive’ emotions often dominate. Techniques enabling individuals to down-regulate threat and stress by switching from ‘sympathetic’ to ‘parasympathetic’ physiologic activity are also introduced. The CPD further includes how we can be more compassionate when communicating with others and how this can be of benefit in employment situations. Practices and techniques to understand what we can do to support both ourselves and others to communicate more effectively are then introduced and discussed.
