A key ingredient to developing healthy personal and professional relationships is establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries. This is even more important in the digital climate where there is always something competing for our attention. 
This workshop introduces the different types of boundaries in our life from physical to emotional to material and time. We explore what shapes our boundaries, how to recognise and communicate them effectively, and what to do when we feel boundaries have been crossed.

There is increasing scientific evidence that being more self-compassionate can lead to significant benefits in our ability to cope with the challenges and disappointments of life, emotional pain, and relationship difficulties. It can also allow us to feel less alone and more connected to others through our shared human experience.
This workshop introduces what self-compassion is, how to respond to our inner critic with kindness and teaches techniques for daily life. This workshop is based on the research of Kristin Neff and Chris Germer, Founders of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion.

Every year 20% of Australian adults will experience a diagnosable mood, anxiety or substance use disorder. The earlier a person accesses appropriate mental health support, the faster their recovery.
