Training for Disaster Workers and Volunteers

We offer two courses for people who work or volunteer within the disaster context that are designed to help them better support others and manage their own wellbeing. These are available as flexible online self-paced programs or as interactive workshops delivered in-house for organisations looking to upskill their workforce. The online courses allow individuals to learn at their own pace, revisit content as needed, and apply the material to their practice when it suits them. The workshops, designed for teams, offer a more hands-on experience and are facilitated by experts who are also experienced mental health clinicians, ensuring a professional and sensitive learning environment. Additionally, you can participate in optional consolidation webinars to further deepen your knowledge, refine your skills and apply your learning to practice through guided discussions and practical insights. If you manage a large workforce, you might consider creating a tailored learning solution that meets the diverse needs of your team.

We also offer highly tailored in-person workshops to help organisations build their capability to support communities, clients, service users and/or staff through a disaster- and trauma-informed lens. We support organisations to examine their existing policies, processes and ways of working to identify opportunities to reduce harm, strengthen engagement, improve service accessibility and support workforce wellbeing.
