Staff & Team Development Workshops
RelateAbility helps your team better understand how you all are doing as a team and how you can grow to encourage each other. And with a genuine appreciation for the educators, social workers, therapists, and other staff members serving in schools and social service agencies, RelateAbility makes time to celebrate and honor your team because not everyone can do the work you all do.
With RelateAbility, your team will engage in activities, conversations, and reflection exercises designed to strengthen relationships while strengthening focus around a common mission. These offerings all seek to rejuvenate your team's capacity to care for one another and, in turn, to better serve your students, clients, and families.
Below are the workshop sessions offered to strengthen organizational health and team wellness. Each focuses on essentials for enhancing workplace mental health and well-being. RelateAbility will collaborate with you to develop an empowering experience for your team regardless of the workshop selected for your team. What remains consistent is the dedication to honor your team's unique perspectives, ideas, and needs.
