Workplaces
When younger staff are facing challenges they don't know how to handle, and older staff are struggling to help their children with the same issues, staff wellbeing and performance is impacted. Our workshops are ideal as part of your staff wellbeing programme for parents, or delivered to managers and leadership.
Workshops for Workplaces
Workshops can be booked individually or we can create a series of workshops to suit your needs and deliver them throughout the year.
​
Workshops can be run at any time of day, and we will make it work to suit your schedule and ensure maximum attendance with 1-hour lunchtime or after work sessions, to half and full day workshops.
​
We'll work with you to deliver workshops that tackle topics to help leadership and management work with and manage young people well, and help parents in your organisation have better relationships with their teenagers, which has a flow on effect to their performance at work. The workshops below are some of the more popular ones amongst workplaces but on discussion with you, we may identify other areas that we can help with, too.
Popular Workshops
Brain Development
Communication between different generations can be tricky sometimes. Understanding the way brains develop is the first port of call. We give guidance and advice on better ways to communicate with young people.
Trauma-Informed Care
Young people experience trauma from violence, natural disasters, as well as subtle things like having a parent with mental illness. Understanding how trauma presents and what staff might be going through can make training and supporting them easier.
Inclusivity
Young people are much more sensitive to inclusivity and it can make or break their choice of employer. We focus on how to cultivate inclusivity both personally and professionally through an awareness of our own biases and by addressing these biases.
Developmental Challenges
Neuro-diverse young people with developmental challenges such as ADHD, ASD, FASD can be hard to engage with in a workplace. But there are some proven ways to work with them that will help them - and you.
Gender Identity & Rainbow Awareness
How gender is expressed and experienced has changed significantly in recent years. How you respond to these changes has a direct impact on your ability to support rangatahi, their parents and those who work with them.
Understanding Mental Illness
Anxiety and/or depression affects around 1 in 6 young New Zealanders. This evidence based, best practice workshop will empower you to help a young person with a mental illness.
Burnout
Many workplaces have staff on the edge of burnout. This can come from personal matters as much as from a high workload or the feeling of being 'on' 24x7. We work through ways to keep yourself safe from burnout.
Self-Harm & Suicide
A growing problem amongst our youth, we help you understand why they do it, learn how to spot the signs that something is wrong, and give practical tools on what to do and when to seek external help.
