This months’ theme: Wellbeing

As we are all being challenged by the omicron variant, our own wellbeing and the wellbeing of our whanau and community is even more important as we must prioritise and balance our own health and wellbeing amongst caring for those around us. The workplace risk of burnout and poor mental health is very real and finding resilience boosting strategies that work for you, is very important.

Professional Development

Conversations That Create Hope introduces Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a solution focused training that focuses on exploring individual’s strengths, personal resources and future hopes rather than problems, illness, weakness or deficits. One of the great things is that you don’t have to be a therapist to use it, and this presentation will highlight that anyone can use SFBT in any situation where a person wants something to be better but may not know how to go about doing it.
