Care is a part of everyday life—whether we’re parents, supporting elderly, ill or disabled family members, caring for animals, or contributing to our communities. No matter how visible or invisible our care roles may be, we all need support from our workplaces—and understanding from those around us—to manage our responsibilities with ease and dignity. In this practical seminar, we will explore ways to both seek and offer support to carers, regardless of our role or level within an organisation. Participants will learn how to create a culture of empathy and solidarity, one where caregiving responsibilities are acknowledged, respected, and accommodated—fostering wellbeing, trust, and balance across teams.

Managing grief in the workplace: navigating loss among caregivers and teams
How does grief and loss manifest within a corporate environment? What emotions emerge when a team loses a member—or when someone within the team is grieving a personal loss? This workshop series is designed to provide leaders and team members with the knowledge, language, and emotional tools needed to support one another during times of grief. We will explore the different forms grief can take, the emotional responses it can trigger within a group, and what leaders need to understand about the stages of grief and effective coping strategies. Through open dialogue and practical activities, participants will learn to recognise and respond to emotions with compassion, creating a space where grief is acknowledged and processed in healthy, respectful ways. The ultimate goal is to strengthen team cohesion, support individuals who are grieving, and help the entire group navigate transitions with empathy, presence, and resilience.
Supporting parents of children with intellectual disabilities
This training focuses on the unique and often intensified challenges faced by parents of children with intellectual disabilities as they navigate the balance between caregiving and professional responsibilities. Together, we will explore evidence-based practices that can help parents manage these dual demands and examine how the workplace can play a meaningful role in improving their overall quality of life. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the everyday realities these parents face, fostering a culture of awareness, empathy, and open communication. The aim is to empower organisations to build supportive environments where caregiver wellbeing is prioritised—contributing to healthier teams, stronger engagement, and a workplace culture rooted in compassion and respect.
