Laughing Geese Dynamic and fun resources for professional staff and managers, unpaid carers and creatives You know that health and social care staff do amazing work.

To recognise and strengthen best practice through creative, solution-focused, human-shaped learning programmes, with coaching for effective care of self and others. Maybe you also know that the UK government estimates care staff sickness absence is costing more than 10 billion £ a year. Maybe you know that the King's Fund (research organisation) showed that a quarter of health and social care staff and a third of managers are experiencing anxiety, stress and depression. Well, - we work with staff and managers to find better-feeling approaches and staff support systems. We also work with people who face similar challenges but who don't have the support of an organisation. We know that people who connect with a sense of love, hope and empowerment are more motivated to self-care. They are also more able to practice wellness-focused approaches that make a positive difference to themselves and others. This reduces stress, increases ideas for fresh approaches and inspires all involved. Feedback from Karrie's workshops and programmes around the UK:
'Uplifting and practical. Packed with ideas. Feel more confident about what I can do.'
'One of the best courses I've been on. Fun, informative and totally inspiring!'
'Goes wider and deeper than other courses'
'Out of all the courses I've done, this one opened something up for me. I have a real sense of excitement for the first time in years!'
'As a manager I found your approach refreshing and compassionate. It's helped us communicate more effectively.'

Our last workshop was yesterday through Nairn Book and Arts Festival . We loved working with the wonderful people at St Olaf Care Home . A great way to end!! Look at these stunning fabric collages. Spot the kite-surfer, the fabulous boats and various skies. There was a lot of chatter and buzz as people created their artworks, making lots of design decisions. The work was based on artist Paul Klee's love of colour. People described the session as enjoyable and therapeutic. Thank you to Elena who ensured people were supported to attend, and to everyone involved at the book and art festival. There are still many more festival events to attend... check out their website and face book page www.nairnfestival.co.uk
