When The Party's Over: Substance use, addictions and workplace support  We use substances for all sorts of reasons—to manage stress or illness, to sleep, to unwind, to have fun, to cope. It may not always be healthy, but it often makes sense. “Substance use” spans a wide spectrum of meaning and social acceptability—and that context shapes how we judge others, and ourselves.  The word “drugs” often conjures up extremes, but the reality spans everything from your morning coffee and after work drinks, to your vape break, to prescription medications, to substances that are illegal to buy, or taboo to use. What society chooses to label as acceptable—or not—sometimes has less to do with harm, and more to do with social and cultural norms and values.  As we explore in this workshop, feelings of judgement and shame frequently perpetuate the cycle of substance addiction; so how can we successfully modify our behaviour if we can’t talk about it, or ask for help and support, especially at work?  This workshop is not a lesson about the dangers or symptoms of drug misuse, It is an engaging, thought-provoking exploration designed to increase understanding and compassion.  Workshop outline:  Reframing the drug landscape – breaking down the stigma  Challenging the misconceptions about substance use and addiction  Exploring useful strategies to support progress and prevent relapse  How to better recognise the signs of difficulty and hold empathetic conversations  Navigate self-help, peer, and professional support options for the workplace  FIND OUT MORE HERE Build your own training package At Mindmaps Wellbeing, we know that every business is unique, and no team is the same.

Grief unscripted Grief Unscripted; Rebuilding after loss  2-Hour Workshop  Grief isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience – it’s messy, unpredictable, and completely unique to each of us. That’s why we call it Grief Unscripted – because, just like life, there’s no script, no right way to grieve, and no timeline to follow.  Whether it’s loss, change, or the unexpected twists life throws at us, this workshop provides practical strategies and holistic psychology to help us understand grief and mourning. We’ll dig deep into this messy, poignant and personal journey that affects us all, while breaking down the stigma and opening-up honest conversations.  Grief deserves to be seen, heard, and supported – just like any part of the human experience. We’re breaking down the stigma around this natural, yet individual, human response.  Workshop outline: Workshop outline:   Understand grief as a deeply individual, yet universally shared human experience.  Recognise the different forms grief can take, including anticipatory, disenfranchised, and cumulative grief Explore the influences of culture, tradition, and personal beliefs on coping and stigma  Challenge misconceptions about grief and mourning, and learn to support yourself and others compassionately.  Develop confidence in holding open, stigma-breaking conversations around grief and loss.   Join us for Grief Unscripted – because to grieve is to be human.
