How Effective Could Your Team Be with the Right Training?

Every day, your team is out there, working with some of the world’s most vulnerable people. Doing their best to help bring about change. And you’re doing your best to support them to do it.

Finding the right training and support can sometimes feel impossible though. It doesn’t fit with what your team does. Or it’s not aimed at their skill level. It’s out of the budget. Or it’s just not available at all.

It’s hard to decide which is the best choice, when you’re trying to do so much with so little.

And I know you care about getting it right, because it’s not just about the training; it’s about the people your team helps every day.

What if you could get exactly what you need, all in one place?

hāpai is a training and support service in development.

I want to help you strengthen your team’s capacity in core support work skills like:

  • Self-care and wellbeing
  • Assessing and responding to mental health crises
  • Building trauma-informed relationships with clients
  • Interventions with substance use

But I need your help.

Every organisation in every context is different. I need to know what you need, so I can create something that really helps.

Here’s what I’m thinking so far…

Skill-Based Training

Regular training sessions on topics and skills that are fundamental to frontline work with vulnerable people, so you can feel confident in your team’s approach to difficult situations.

Consultation Calls

Opportunities to ask questions and get support with complex issues and cases, so your staff know there’s always someone else to help when things get hard.

Community Support

A private community forum where your staff can get help from other people in similar positions all around the world. Develop their network and their skills at the same time.
