Description

Enhancing Workplace Wellness training designed to equip nonprofit professionals with practical tools to address workplace stress, prevent burnout, and establish self-care practices. The purpose is to foster a culture of wellness and resilience, enabling participants to maintain productivity, mental health, and effective team dynamics in their mission-driven work.

This training addresses a growing need for wellness strategies in the nonprofit sector, where funding pressures, heavy workloads, and emotional demands contribute to high stress and burnout rates. According to recent workplace wellness studies, nonprofit professionals report above-average burnout compared to other sectors. The training is unique in its trauma-informed approach, integrating evidence-based practices like mindfulness and the 8 Dimensions of Wellness framework.

Learning Objectives

Participants will engage through a mix of small and large group discussions, interactive presentations, and hands-on activities, such as self-assessments, role-playing scenarios, and wellness plan creation. Practical exercises like guided mindfulness and breathing techniques will ensure an experiential learning process that participants can implement immediately. By the end of this training:

  • Participants will identify at least three workplace stressors and signs of burnout during the session.
  • Participants will create a personalized self-care plan based on the “4 Pillars of Self-Care.”
  • Participants will demonstrate effective communication strategies through role-playing scenarios.
  • Participants will draft an actionable workplace wellness plan by the end of the training.

Target Audience

This training is designed for nonprofit professionals, including staff, managers, and leaders, who aim to improve workplace wellness. The core message is the importance of addressing burnout and fostering a supportive work environment.
