Workplace Wellbeing & Development
There has never a more important time to invest in the wellbeing and development of helping professionals
A combination of recruitment and retention challenges; increasing demands on reduced services; rising rates of chronic stress and burnout as well as compassion fatigue, the cost of neglecting support is high—both individually and organisationally. Investing in the development of your teams supports their continued resilience and wellbeing as well as demonstrating your organisation’s commitment to their continued motivation and performance.

Having worked on the frontline of service delivery as well as supporting staff to do so, I have extensive experience and understanding of the challenges facing organisations and their employees.
Training workshops and well-being activity sessions are interactive, energising, and grounded in real-world situations and challenges. At Evexia Works we place wellbeing and effective professional practice at the heart of the content and delivery, to help organisations to engage, motivate and support their employees.

Maintaining Balance and Resilience
This experiential workshop supports helping professionals in emotionally demanding roles to better understand their own nervous system, their stress triggers and responses, and develop increased resilience at work.
Through a trauma-informed lens, we explore how stress manifests cognitively and somatically shaping behaviour, communication, and performance.
In this course, we will:

Understanding and Preventing Burnout
Burnout is more than being stressed. It is a full body and mind condition which many helping professionals experience.
In the current climate of organisations being asked to do more with less (money and resources), employees are under increasing pressure to deliver.
Burnout doesn’t happen overnight – it builds over time and often the sign and symptoms are ignored or overlooked.
- What burnout is and why it happens
- How to recognise the signs of burnout in yourself and others
- How chronic stress & burnout impact our bodies and minds
- Factors that contribute to burnout, such as poor professional boundaries, overcommitment, people pleasing and guilt & how to overcome these
- The importance of stress management and maintaining your wellbeing
Stress, Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma
This interactive training offers a safe, supportive space to explore the impact of stress, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma—common yet often unspoken experiences in helping and caring professions.
Using trauma-informed principles, the session blends psych-education; as well as practical reflective practice to help participants recognise early signs, build emotional resilience, and identify appropriate support.
Please note: this course can be delivered as a 3 or 6hr course. Content will vary according
- Recognise and describe the signs of Compassion Fatigue, Burnout, and Vicarious Trauma
- Explore contributing factors to Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma
- Identify personal and workplace stressors across different settings
- Appreciate the role of both responsive and preventative self-care strategies

- Learn how to minimise the impact of emotional overload, burnout, and secondary trauma when supporting others
- Deepen understanding of healthy professional boundaries and their role in sustaining wellbeing
Laughter Yoga Including Meditation
This workshop is the perfect antidote to stress! Laughter is not only contagious and connecting, but it also actually helps reduce stress hormones, and release endorphins (happy hormones!) Laughter Yoga combined with meditation leaves participants feeling lighter, more relaxed and energised even on tough days! And…… it’s really good fun!
Laughter Yoga sessions can be delivered completely stand alone or as part of longer team development days. Sessions last up to 1 hour.
