Training
Add consultancy to your training session.
Bruce provides consultancy services to frontline organisations to assess the mental health, trauma, and stress levels of their workforce. This is done in an interactive way with 1-to-1 interviews, and reflective practice sessions with staff across the organisation [including the leadership team]. Bruce collates this into a report that would outline the current issues for staff regarding their mental health and recommendations for the way forward.
Bruce was recently employed by the ACT Corrective Services in Canberra to conduct such a review of their staff. Bruce found this a very productive process and is keen to expand this area of his practice.
