A Girl Called Hope

For those seeking effective tools and tips for improving wellbeing, the Online Wellbeing Skills Courses are designed to build upon every participant’s hauora (wellbeing) resources.  Our organisation’s values are communicated through our commitment to wellbeing and belief that every person is valued, purposed and, above all, has reason to live.

Each topical course is made up of four 90-minute sessions. The courses are interactive and in real-time.  Facilitated by our experienced and qualified team, skills practice is incorporated into each session.  Participants receive a Workbook to support their learning journey.

As part of our community based services these courses are for people who require additional support to remain actively involved with family/whanau, community living, education, employment and self-management of their own wellbeing. These courses also suitable as part of an organisation's staff wellbeing programme. 

Each person is supported to determine their own needs and to retain or regain control of their own journey to strengthen their wellbeing.

A Wellbeing Skills Short Course is designed to build upon every participant’s existing hauora (wellbeing) resources.  The Course acknowledges that every woman is resourceful and is able to strengthen existing knowledge and add new learning to develop a personal wellbeing toolkit.  Our organisation’s values are communicated through our commitment to wellbeing and belief that every person is valued, purposed and, above all, has reason to live.

The course is a female-only cohort and intended for those who are aware of their personal challenges and are motivated to make changes in their life.  Through the use of safe exposure and experiential learning in a group setting, the course is designed to build resilience and grow confidence in each participant’s capability to tap into their own resourcefulness.

The course utilises Dr Mason Drurie's Te Whare Tapa Whā model of wellbeing as a framework for programme design and takes a solutions-focussed approach to the learning.  It is informed by evidence-based models and theories such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), mindfulness skills learnt in DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) and the Strength Based Approach.

A Wellbeing Skills Short Course takes place on a Thursday and Friday for six weeks at our premises in Albany, North Shore, Auckland.   Applicants are welcome from throughout Aotearoa, with participants responsible for their own accommodation and transport.
