We are beyond thrilled to be partnering with Neon Shed for Psychosocial Safety Summit. See below for details.

Join us for our 3rd annual Summit which will be held in The Marquee at the beautiful Victoria Park in Brisbane, and will focus on Psychosocial Safety.

There are not many events that focus on psychosocial health and wellbeing, and this Summit will be a great opportunity to network with HR and WHS professionals, to learn the latest research, strategies, innovations and practical tools to measure, manage and improve safety.

This is NOT a bunch of speakers talking about the hazards in the code of practice and how to manage them… These experts and leaders in their fields are diving into real issues and challenges workplaces are experiencing, to make your life easier.

We’ll cover:
- Psychological impacts of physical injuries with Cameron Carr
- Alcohol with Sarah Connelly
- Domestic Violence with Stefanie Costi
- Repairing the harm and stopping the cycle with Kerrie Sellen
- Serious psychosocial injury recovery with Caroline Howe
- Burnout with Helen Lawson Williams
- Trauma informed intersectional psychosocial risk management with Kanae. A. Dyas
- Gender and generational differences with Nicole Turnbull
- Cultural transformation with Fiona Hogarth
- Having courageous conversations with Blyde Neser
- The importance of Women in Safety with Alanna Ball
- Workplace healing and trauma with Sean Lappin
- Ending the argument on where psychosocial safety sits in an organisation with Dr Donna Stemmer and Dr Elizabeth C..

And the final speakers will be announced soon…

These topics are hard to manage, yet these incredible people are doing it and changing the world for workplaces and communities. We are honoured to be partnering with them in this event.

Group discounts are available. Grab your ticket today and we can’t wait to meet you! https://lnkd.in/evVRCPax

This quote by Brené Brown, a well-known researcher and author who has written extensively on shame and vulnerability, highlights the destructive power of shame. When we feel ashamed, we may believe that we are, or someone else is, fundamentally flawed and incapable of change. This can lead to a sense of hopelessness and despair that can be difficult to overcome.

However, it is possible to break free from the cycle of shame. This is a important component to our Restorative Practices Training and we extensively look into how shame could be running our lives without us even knowing it. By learning about the Restorative Practices framework, we can begin to heal and grow within ourself and together in our relationships.
