Developing ResiliencePresenter: Liese Groot-Alberts![]() Overview: To work effectively as Health Care Professionals, it is necessary to be aware of life purpose and our own resilience as well as knowing how to work through doubts and experiences of clients’ despair and suffering, in order to be effective in working with people and their communities. Strengthening our own sense of hope and resilience makes us better equipped to explore resilience and hope with the people we work with. Research shows that staff who actively practice self-care and self-awareness increase their resilience in the Health Care Professions, where empathy and compassion are important aspects of the work. End 2020 with a gift to you and your work so you’re ready for 2021! Key Learning Points

A Closer Look at Eating DisordersPresenter: Christine Deacon![]() Overview: Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses that are often misunderstood, stigmatized and do not enjoy many accessible, affordable support and treatment services. Through understanding eating disorders and breaking common misconceptions, we are better able to support an individual with an eating disorder or disordered eating in sourcing fit-for-purpose support and treatment programmes that are easily accessed and affordable in New Zealand and Australia.

Tuesday evening Focusing 'Drop ins'Presenter: Rachel Hendron![]() These weekly 'drop-ins' are an opportunity for individuals to have some self-care, community and time to practice Focusing as a way to relate to themselves and others in a more embodied, spontaneous and free-flowing way. Each event will be different depending on how many people attend and their interests. For more information see www.vibrantlife.nz where you will also find a free downloadable guide which will be a useful accompaniment at the meetings. Rachel Hendron holds an MSc in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Strathclyde. I’m a recognised Focusing-Oriented Therapist and Focusing Trainer by the Focusing Institute. I work with individuals, couples and families in a trauma-informed, relational way at Family Action in Auckland and in-person and online in Private Practice. I see adults and adolescents and children. I work to help my clients build better relationships with themselves and each other, using Nonviolent principles, Neuroscience and Attachment theories and the felt sense. Most recently I am training to become recognised by Brainspotting International using the optic nerve’s connection to the subcortical region to help my clients heal swiftly from trauma. |
