For Organisations
Organisations working across the care and relational sectors hold some of the most complex and consequential work in our communities. They are doing so under increasing pressure, with workforce attrition, rising burnout and mental ill health, and resource constraints that rarely match the scale of need.
Many have invested genuinely in staff wellbeing, yet patterns of strain persist - because organisations are living systems too. They carry stress in their structures, cultures, and relationships.
Taking Good Care works at the level where lasting change is actually possible, with teams, cultures, and the conditions that shape how relational work is done.
What we offer
Our organisational and leadership offerings are trauma-informed, mental health aware, and systems-aware.
We work from the understanding that stress and distress are shaped by systems and structures — and that community, connection, and systemic change are part of what makes both recovery and sustainable practice possible.
-
A trauma-informed professional development workshop for leaders and managers focused on burnout prevention, chronic stress, reflective practice, and sustainable care.
An introductory workshop exploring what it means to take good care in our work. This workshop honours the importance of relational work while naming its inherent challenges: the hidden costs, the cumulative impact, and the conditions, skills, and collective capacities that make this work sustainable. Introduces the Taking Good Care framework as a shared starting point.
Suitable for leadership and management roles. Complements broader psychosocial risk management and hierarchy of control approaches to workplace safety.
-
A leadership training for managers and leaders working in trauma-exposed workplaces and settings.
Managers and leaders are the levers for change within organisations. This four-part training moves from individual experience to systems-level understanding. Each workshop stands alone, but together they build the skills, language, and capacity to manage and lead teams with care in complex and high-stress environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

-
Relational work involves sustained care, emotional labour, and responsibility for the wellbeing of others. This includes healthcare, education, mental health, disability, community services, social work, and other care-sector roles where people regularly work with stress, distress, trauma, and human complexity.
These professions are essential — but often emotionally demanding. Taking Good Care exists to support more sustainable ways of caring and working for peoples, teams and organisations.
-
We partner with organisations across the relational and care sectors, including healthcare, education, mental health, disability, community services, social work, and other sectors where people regularly work with stress, distress, trauma, and human complexity.
We also partner with government services, corporate and small businesses - if the work is care-oriented, we are interested!
-
Yes. All of our offerings are trauma-informed, systems-aware, strengths-based and feminist and gender-affirming.
-
We intentionally separate practitioner wellbeing work from leadership and organisational development.
In our experience, practitioners are often better able to engage deeply with stress, care, recovery, and reflective practice in spaces outside workplace pressures and organisational dynamics.
Leadership and organisational development require a different focus — strengthening the cultural, relational, and structural conditions that support sustainable care.
Both are essential to sustaining care. They simply require different approaches.
