About this event

The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) is offering a series of free 90-minute Leading for wellbeing seminars for Family Violence, Prevention and Sexual Assault managers, team leaders, coordinators, Human Resource staff, emerging sector leaders and interested practitioners and workers.

Facilitated by the world-renowned Health, Safety and Wellbeing expert, Dr. Michelle McQuaid, the series is designed to respond to your workplace wellbeing queries and share your success stories and challenges.

Dr. Michelle McQuaid was the top-rated speaker for the 2020 Leadership Intensives and Alumni Fireside Chats. The new seminar series will build on the previous conversations in relation to workplace health, safety and wellbeing and contribute to DFFH’s commitment to building leadership capability in the family violence, prevention and sexual assault workforces.

Each seminar extends the learning for the previous one, however you are welcome to attend any of the seminars even if you haven’t attended the ones before.

Seminar Three

Are you and your organisation interested in learning more about holistic healing and learning from our First Nations colleagues? Do you have your own holistic healing approaches to share?

Bring questions, challenges, and best-practices to this 90-minute leadership seminar with Daphne and Ivy Yarram and Dr Michelle McQuaid as we dive into the latest actions that can have a big impact for individual and collective care.

This will be a real-time cultural experience for us as leaders to explore how we can apply trauma informed Aboriginal Holistic practices to support the health, safety, and wellbeing of our teams. Together we’ll learn how to:

  • Unlearn our biases about each other and the power of a “cup of tea” moment when it comes to the collective care of our teams.
  • The power of narrative as part of supervision practices to allow each of our team members to own their own stories.
  • TNavigate the risks of double-dose trauma and meet our governance requirements to support the health, safety and wellbeing or our teams.

You will come away with practical ideas you can immediately apply with your teams and yourself.
