Collective Care: Moving Beyond Self-care to Consider Organisational Culture and Practices

Join us for this 3.5 hour online workshop facilitated by Tuned In Consulting. This training is designed for NFP leaders, managers, and community sector workers committed to building psychologically safe, sustainable workplaces.

Collective care asks us to look beyond individual self-care and toward the cultures and practices that shape our workplaces. This workshop recognises the important shift toward employer responsibility in creating psychologically safe workplaces. It moves beyond framing burnout and vicarious trauma as individual failings or the result of insufficient self-care and instead explores organisational and collective approaches that support long-term sustainability in community work.

Participants will be invited to consider how organisational culture, systems, and shared responsibility can better support the wellbeing of those doing this vital work.

This session is presented by Community Industry Group in partnership with the Local Community Services Association (LCSA) and is free of charge. It is delivered as part of LCSA's role in the Community Organisation Disaster Adaptations (CODA) Project. CODA is funded by the Australian Government and the NSW Government.

Spaces are limited, so if you are unable to attend, please contact Community Industry Group via email: admin@cigroup.org.au or call us on (02) 4256 4333. This training comes with a non-attendance guarantee of $50.00.
