Building a Resilient Community

The start of 2020 has been one of the most challenging time we have experienced. It is important that those working in the community are able to care for themselves whilst they care for their community. This workshop will provide opportunities to learn about the brain and body’s response to stress and how we can look to increase our own and our client’s resilience.

This online workshop will introduce participants to the two types of anxiety and how to manage them, two practical strategies to use with clients to understand healthy ways to build positive neural connections and how we can be proactive in building resilience from the inside out and outside in.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Increased knowledge of the neuroscience of stress and anxiety;
  • Increased confidence and skills in explaining the impact of stress and anxiety on our child and adult clients; and
  • Practical strategies that workers can use with their clients.

REGISTER NOW! PLACES ARE STRICTLY LIMITED TO ENSURE THAT YOU EXPERIENCE A HIGH LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT AND INTERACTIVITY.

Acknowledgement

LEAD acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land we gather and work on, and the land that you are on while visiting our website. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the cultures and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation. A better understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures develops an enriched appreciation for Australia’s cultural heritage and can lead to reconciliation. This is essential to the maturity of Australia as a nation and fundamental to the development of an Australian identity. Understanding and respect are guiding principles of LEAD’s Reconciliation Action Plan.
