Lose Your Mind Empathy Training is a social enterprise that offers innovative experiential learning training packages to enhance the mental health culture of communities and organisations. Feeling heard and understood is a fundamental human need and research has shown that leaders and staff with high levels of empathy have greater staff mental health, improved business performance and better client / patient / student outcomes.
We recognise the importance of experiential learning in the development of empathy and us experiences such as Virtual Reality simulations to engage participants personally and emotionally as well as providing practical tools for enhanced communication.
Workshop learning outcomes:
-
