Leaders, Managers and Supervisors are warmly invited to a consultative conversation fostering and shouldering up team wellbeing and client-centered care.

Leaders are encouraged to register themselves, and their teams for Vikki’s two-day professional development for all specialist DFV, Sexual Violence and Women’s Health and Wellbeing workforce on 29 and 30 May 2025.

This is a unique opportunity for you to directly engage in transformative conversations that will guide and shape Vikki’s two-day all-of-sector event in May.

Across 3-hours of online connection with Vikki, you will be invited into creative, autonomous engagement, exploring the frameworks and ethical stance of Vikki’s work, including:

Alternative person-centred approaches to understanding “vicarious trauma” and burnout” in the context of social injustice and specialist sector work
The “Zone of Fabulousness” - centring clients at the core of work and connecting workers through collective ethics and believed-in hope to resist burnout and foster sustainability within your organisation
Creating cultures of accountability and collaborative leadership frameworks
Power and responsibility
Building relationships of respect, appreciation and critique that bring teams back into their “zone”
Living supervision and solidarity groups
Dedicated Q&A to deep dive and lean into the frameworks as leaders and support team attendance for the two-day event

Vikki encourages attendees to familiarise themselves, if possible, with the “Zone of Fabulousness”, ahead of the consultation, which can be accessed via the video link below:
