Foundations of Healing

Service Description

Welcome to Whakaora’s Foundations of Healing programme – a unique opportunity designed specifically for mental health professionals to restore, renew, and reinforce their own well-being. This programme is built upon evidence-based practices, traditional Māori values, and the latest insights in trauma therapy to offer a supportive space for professionals committed to healing others. About the Foundations of Healing Programme Therapists and mental health professionals often face the unseen impacts of vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout. Foundations of Healing addresses these challenges with a focus on holistic well-being, incorporating principles of Mana (Authority and Respect), Wairua (Spiritual Wellbeing), Whanaungatanga (Connection and Relationships), and Kaupapa (Purpose and Principles). Each theme anchors a session, supporting participants as they rediscover their own resilience and rekindle their sense of purpose. The programme is a four-part intensive held over two days, with each session carefully designed to allow mental health professionals to reconnect with their inner resources, access effective self-care strategies, and cultivate a resilient mindset. Whether you’re feeling the effects of prolonged stress or simply wish to bolster your own foundations of well-being, this programme will help you reset and recharge.
