TRAINING/CONSULTANCY FOR GROUPS, UNIVERSITIES, ORGANISATIONS AND SERVICE-PROVIDERS:
COMPASSIONATE, RELATIONAL AND RESTORATIVE PRACTICE Hope in the Heart has long-time connections with the global compassion movement, experts in the fields of mental health and social care, restorative justice and truth and reconciliation. We are partners of the international Charter for Compassion and Relational Practice Movement (in whose development we have participated over recent years).
"Relational Practice is the radical act of reintroducing empowerment and kindness into the very heart of our public services"
Through our training and consultancy, we aim to inspire more compassionate and meaningful ways of living and working in all areas, including public services, businesses, third sector organisations, educational establishments and community groups. Relational practice has been shown to create greater efficiency and fulfilment in the workplace, leading to happier staff and service-users, with improved outcomes and productivity for all.
TRAINING FOR ORGANISATIONS AND SERVICE-PROVIDERS:
Sessions are in person, relational, creative and interactive. They can be tailored to your organisation's specific needs and interests, and can include an exhibition of selected artwork from the Messages from the HeART project. Subsidised training may be available. Please contact [email protected] to discuss.
"Relational Practice is a way of working where establishing and maintaining a helpful interpersonal relationship is the priority. It requires: • flexibility, adaptability and willingness • an understanding of the inner and outer lives of individuals in the social field • an enabling and facilitating attitude in developing our relational behaviour..."Rex Haigh, RCP and Nick Benefield UKDH
AN INTRODUCTION TO RELATIONAL PRACTICE In a society in which the bureaucracy of systems commonly takes priority over human connectedness, service-providers are frequently overwhelmed by targets, management and administrative tasks, and can lose sight of the real needs of their service-users - and themselves. Service-users may be frustrated, anxious, and engaged with a number of different services which operate in isolation, with little or no shared communication.
Many people who access support services (and often those drawn to work within them) have experienced trauma, hardship and rejection. The impersonal impact of a systemic approach can be alienating and harmful for all concerned, ultimately increasing distress and disengagement.
Through this training we will explore together how a better knowledge and understanding of essential relational skills, and a commitment to reconciliation and human connection, can significantly improve effectiveness and social impact within teams and services, positively transforming the experiences of both service-users and the providers committed to supporting them.
