"I enjoyed the flow of the presentation and that Andra included cultural aspects into it- specific to NZ. I also enjoyed the specific karakia and whakatauki shared along with the metaphor of the seed and the tree :)".

"Thank you so much! I will highly recommend any trainings that you will be holding. I really appreciated the presentation being appropriate to people with an understanding of stress and trauma".

"Andra is a perceptive and warm listener".

"I enjoyed the pace of the workshop - it didn't feel too overwhelming, and I enjoyed the break-out rooms".

"I liked Andra's manner, approach, the pacing to fit in useful information, and how she responded to us as the participants. She was kind and thoughtful and professional".

"The handouts are great —including the Self-Care Wheel, Te Whare Tapa Whā model (a holistic view), the General Helper Card, and the Peace Protocol—were all incredibly valuable. Additionally, the extra insight from Andra helped to clarify and reinforce the importance of vicarious trauma. By learning new skills and knowledge, we can better support others while ensuring we work in a holistically safe environment"

This introductory-intermediate level workshop is suitable for anyone working in helping fields eg. schools, hospitals, prisons, primary and emergency health care, crisis responders, criminal justice system etc. where there is ongoing exposure to potentially traumatic material such as people’s trauma stories, reports with trauma content, reading material, legal reports, compensation claims, visual trauma material and media content.

This is also appropriate for anyone concerned about the toll and impact of their workload on their personal and professional functioning, looking to have a better understanding of what vicarious trauma is and tools for prevention.

NOTE - If your organisation is interested in having Andra present online to your team as a private workshop, please contact faye@grow.co.nz  for more information.

We work hard to ensure that all workshops are cost-effective by automating our systems.

• The full organisation name and postal address required to appear on the invoice.

• The contact name and email of the person(s) responsible for authorising this expense and approving payment.

• Any purchase order references required on vendor invoices.

Please email this information to Brian - accounts@grow.co.nz and faye@grow.co.nz , and along with the Invoice we will also send you a special booking link which will come up as free of charge. Through this link you will need to complete your registration. 

PLEASE NOTE:

• Payment in full is required before commencement of the training.

• If you require an Invoice and you are seeking funding approval, please include this surcharge in the price you have on your application.
