Workshops and Training for organisations
Vanessa Bear offers a range of workshops and training for organisations that can be offered to service users, students, pupils or a staff team.
The workshops and trainings described below are suggestions and can be altered to best suit your needs.
Practical Self Care
What
These sessions involve a mixture of experiential practice to develop a robust and meaningful self-care experience and ongoing self-care strategies, as well as a little theory.
Activities include methods from yoga, mindfulness, nature connection, eco-therapy and psychology.
Who
These sessions are ideal for people who:
have experienced trauma
are in challenging or stressful jobs
are experiencing difficulties or challenges in parenting
helping professionals
Where
Sessions are best in a space that is big enough for people to move around and have access to quiet outdoor space. Sometimes this is best away from the usual work environment. If you prefer, I can suggest a location.
8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery
What
These sessions draw on the 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery Workbook written by Vanessa Bear and Babette Rothschild. They are best with each Key as a separate session, with 1.5 hours for each Key, totaling 12 hours.
The sessions are focused on strategies to recover from trauma and are focused on phases one and three- they do not include reprocessing or retelling trauma stories in any way.
Who
These sessions are ideal for people who:
have experienced trauma
helping professionals who wish to share these skills with clients
