Often activists are so busy helping others that we don't give ourselves permission to take time out for our own self care which can lead to burn out.  This one day workshop aims to enhance your confidence, courage, enjoyment and commitment to be true to yourself and take positive action in the workplace.  It will providing a practical skills step by step tool kit for you to use in and beyond this workshop to identify and support your unique strengths and action, to stop any erosion now, restore your foundations and grow through tough challenges. 

You will learn why you respond to things in different ways and how you can change that to get different outcomes.  It will offer you the latest evidence / research on resilience in pictures and words including the science of the brain and voluntary and involuntary nervous system.  Giving you examples from real life locally and from other cultures internationally to explore and learn from in small and large group activities and reflection, it invites you to explore and learn together from live situations you face in a safe, challenging and enjoyable way. 

It will be delivered by Rosie Burrows BACP, SEP, PhD Resilience and Trauma Specialist.
