Training
Practical, evidence-informed training for people working in demanding environments.
KonTerra helps organizations equip staff, managers, and leaders with practical skills to protect wellbeing, navigate pressure and uncertainty, and work effectively in challenging environments.
Our training draws on psychological research and decades of experience supporting people working in high-stress, high-exposure, insecure, and rapidly changing contexts. Sessions are practical, interactive, and tailored to participants’ roles, cultural contexts, and operating environments. They are designed and delivered by experienced mental health professionals using trauma-informed approaches that support psychological safety and participation.
Training grounded in the realities of demanding work
Generic wellbeing advice often falls short when people are dealing with sustained pressure, exposure to trauma or distressing material, organizational upheaval, crisis, insecurity, or other complex demands.
We tailor training to the challenges your people face, including:
Training for Staff & Teams
Help people build practical skills for demanding work.
KonTerra offers training for staff working across a wide range of roles and environments—from those navigating workplace pressure and change to people regularly exposed to trauma, suffering, distressing content, insecurity, or crisis. Sessions build practical, evidence-informed skills to protect wellbeing, strengthen resilience, communicate effectively, and sustain themselves in demanding work.
Training for Managers & Leaders
Equip managers to support people and lead effectively under pressure.
Managers have a powerful influence on how people experience demanding work. KonTerra helps managers and leaders build practical skills to support staff wellbeing, create healthier teams, and navigate difficult situations.
Many manager sessions can be paired with corresponding all-staff training, helping teams build shared foundations before managers focus on recognizing risks, supporting staff, and shaping team conditions. For senior leadership teams, we can also facilitate strategic discussions focused on organizational pressures, workforce wellbeing, and opportunities for systemic change.
Training Built Around Your Needs
From a single workshop to a sustained learning program.
Every organization is different. We tailor content, examples, activities, and depth to your workforce, roles, risks, operating environment, and learning objectives. Training can be delivered virtually or in person and, where available, in participants’ preferred languages.
For needs that go beyond a single workshop, we can combine training with:
Multi-session learning series
Build knowledge and skills progressively across several connected sessions.
Facilitated discussion groups
Create space to apply learning to real situations, explore challenges, and learn from peers.
Assessments and development tools
Integrate tools such as the KonTerra Inventory of Resilience Builders® (KIRB®), Leadership Circle Profile® (LCP), and DiSC® where appropriate.
Coaching and consultation
Provide individualized or leadership-level support alongside group learning.
