Managers in the non-profit sector are often tasked with leading teams through challenging and emotionally demanding work. Balancing the well-being of staff with organizational pressures requires practical tools, self-awareness, and a compassionate leadership approach. This workshop is designed to help managers strengthen both their own psychological health and the health of their teams by focusing on six essential areas of leadership.

Participants will learn how to:

• Recognize and address organizational stressors that contribute to staff burnout and disengagement.

• Create a psychologically safe environment that fosters trust, open communication, and belonging.

• Respond effectively to staff distress or workplace crises without overstepping into therapeutic roles.

• Lead with empathy while maintaining clear professional boundaries.

• Build team resilience by promoting collective care practices, compassion satisfaction, and peer support.

• Model healthy work habits and self-care strategies that set the tone for sustainable team culture.

Through interactive discussions, case scenarios, and practical strategies, managers will walk away with a clear framework for protecting psychological health, reducing risks of injury, and cultivating a resilient, engaged team.

You will need to provide some information about who and how many people you are managing before your registration is confirmed.
