Building Resilience

It might be easy to be positive when everything is going well, but our ability to get back up on our feet and keep moving forward when challenges come can be more difficult. Why is it, that some people are better at this than others? The answer can be found in an individual’s levels of resilience.

Resilience is the ability to respond positively to adversity, to bounce back and find a way forward. The good news is, this is a skill we can grow and develop. This half-day workshop is designed to teach just that – to increase the personal levels of resilience in your staff.

Helping participants become more self-aware is a key component of our Building Resilience training course. In this training, we focus on how to recognise and identify negative thinking and learn to reframe adversity as a challenge to overcome, as opposed to a threat. The training takes a closer look at what happens when our body is under stress and how these body reactions influence our thinking and behaviour. Participants will learn helpful strategies for stress mitigation, emotional regulation and self-control, increasing their own levels of personal resilience.

Topics Covered in this seminar:

Learn strategies to improve personal levels of resilience
Learn how to identify and mitigate early signs of stress
Learn strategies to reframe negative events
Increase levels of resilient thinking
Learn relaxation techniques to mitigate stress response
Enhancing personal wellbeing

Health and well-being are critical factors in achieving a high–performing, productive workplace. Creating a workplace culture that promotes good mental health, where people can flourish and be their best, benefits both the individual and the workplace.
Life Care works with organisations across multiple sectors and industries, empowering their staff with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to know how to recognise and respond to someone who is struggling with their mental health.

Our consultative approach is tailored to your industry, offering interactive, practical, and engaging courses. We work closely with you to develop scenario-based training and case studies relevant to your workplace and then help your staff apply the knowledge and skills they learn in a realistic and safe learning environment.

We have developed mental health and well-being training packages to help improve mental health in your workplace. All our courses are delivered nationwide by qualified and experienced professionals.

“I just wanted to send an email regarding one of the New Plymouth Life Care workers – Jenny Coombe. As mentioned during our call yesterday, Jenny has been outstanding to work with over the past few years. Jenny has a wonderful attitude, and many staff look forward to seeing Jenny whenever she comes on site to complete health assessments or courses. Our work relationship with Jenny is a breeze along with her valuable knowledge and experience. We value her work ethic and willingness to make anything we throw her way work in our favour. We really believe Jenny is such an asset to the Life Care team.”

“I would, without any hesitation, recommend Life Care Consultants to any organisation or individual seeking First Aid skills. Their methods are innovative, up to date and their staff friendly and extremely easy going, capable of adapting to any learning style. They are all very well equipped to provide anyone with this essential life skill. Our staff love them”

Sanja Zubcic at City Parks Services

“The feedback has been extremely positive and goes so far to say it’s the best First Aid course they’ve ever attended. The course was very informative and detailed with staff coming away feeling very confident knowing what they need to do in any situation. They were also impressed with the training using the defib unit which is great as we have one onsite. So, I would like to pass on my thanks to everyone at Life Care Consultants and I look forward to booking more courses in the future.”

Norma Hartley at Flight Group Ltd

“The training was fantastic. The tutors were great and I got some really good positive feedback from the staff who said they really enjoyed it. Thank you so much.”

“Just passing on the Project’s thanks for having Bryan as our trainer. When he was here a fortnight ago one of the attendees was Tony Adams, our Project Manager. I didn’t tell Bryan this until after the course finished. Tony was very impressed and said it was one of the best trainers he had ever had – kept things moving, was engaging and kept the topics interesting. Today’s course has included our Finance Manager and one of the senior staff from Goodman’s. Both of those have stopped by my desk and said how much they have enjoyed having Bryan. Please pass on our thanks to both him and the Life Care team.”

Mental illness is something a lot of people in New Zealand have some form of personal experience with. Thank you for taking the time to spread awareness.”
