Your organisation has a vision of a better future and you have a team that beliefs in that. They work hard to create the change that you want to see.

Imagine that everyone on your team has two hearts. A heart of feather and a heart of stone.

The heart of feather gives them that endless passion for making change, caring about the people they serve, to go above and beyond delivering the services that will change lives. The downside is that it can leave them open to vicarious trauma.

The heart of stone gives your team the strength and courage to stand up for what they believe in, to have resilience and to have boundaries that keep them and everyone around them safe. They have the endurance to make an impact. The downside is that with only this heart, they wear themselves out and don't ask for help.

Now imagine everyone in your team could have access to both their hearts, all these skills, all the time?

The work that your organisation does is so important. We need you and your team to keep doing what you do. The change you are creating is chipping away at a better future.

And let's face it. It is a tough gig. The emotional labour requirements of your team are big. And when I say emotional labour, I am talking about the ongoing need of your team to regulate their emotions so they can continue to deliver. 

Your team being emotionally involved is what makes them so good at what they do. It is also what leads to burnout. It is why a trauma-informed practice is needed.

How can you help your team to have both their heart of feather and their heart of stone?

If you answered yes to 3 or more of these questions then you need to support your team to stay afloat and keep on swimming.

There are 3 aspects to supporting your team to have that sustainable strength that has them showing up day after day and bringing their best. 

Firstly it is feeling safe in their workplace. They need to know that you have their back.

Next, each person needs the training and the opportunity to develop the skills of resilience.

And finally, creating the support structures within your team to make sure everyone is doing ok.

This program is designed to create a tailored learning experience that creates a safe environment and builds the skills that will strengthen every team member. It is also created in a way that embeds these learning and practices into your workplace culture. 

The program includes the following:

At Weave, we know that your time is already stretched. The thought of doing another thing, another training, another program, can feel like a really big thing to take on. We understand that. 

That is why we have designed this program from evidence-based research in resilience, wellness and behaviour change. We want to make sure that the learning that we share has a solid foundation.

It is also why we include monthly integration support for 6 months. We have all had the experience of receiving fantastic training, but when it is over, and we get back into work again, the learning slips away day by day. We want to support your to make sure that doesn't happen this time. 

We also know that your training budget has to go a long way. You don't want to be wasting a cent. While so far on this page we have talked about the benefits to your team and the people you serve. There is also a financial solution offered by this work. 

This work reduces absenteeism, presenteeism and staff turnover in organisations. These issues are costing Australian businesses $87 billion a year. This program offers a real solution in reducing this costs in your organisation.

"Your team holds endless potential for your organisation. Do you choose to create a workplace that can harness that?”

Want to know about the concept of the feather and the stone? This symbology comes from the book THE TWO-HEARTED NUMBAT by Ambelin & Ezekiel Kwaymullina. We highly recommend picking up a copy of this wonderful picture book.
