Both in Australia and around the world, we have seen aid, development, and welfare workers burdened by huge workloads and living with unmanageable expectations from organisations and communities. Projects left unfinished due to a lack of funds or community disengagement, as well as increasing community dependence on services. This has resulted in worker burnout, growing community resistance, unsettled donors and individuals, and sees communities stuck in the poverty cycle.   

As a response SFI is offering a training experience that will equip people in the aid, community development and community welfare spaces to 

• Understand how a cycle of dependency has been created in their context 

• Create a common vision for flourishing 

• Use strength based approaches to development 

• Problem solve across whole systems 

• Stay sane while bringing positive change  

This course is suited to anyone working in the community field including local government, NFPs, NGOs, community service organisations at any level from policy and management to grassroots workers.

Every primary and secondary school, at its heart, wants its students and broader school community to flourish. A holistic model of what this looks like is crucial for next generations to take their place in creating a kinder, more sustainable world.

SFI is working with a cohort of educators, exploring how our Flourishing Framework® can be a guide for students and whole school communities to embrace values and practices that recognise our interconnectedness and provide insights to building a better world.

Many of us spend the majority of our week at work. Whether working from home, in the office, or a mix of both, work tends to dominate our lives, our thinking and can affect our wellbeing positively and adversely.

The environment in which we work becomes vitally important not only to our wellbeing but our personal flourishing, the Flourishing of those around us and the whole organisation.

SFI is offering a free diagnostic of your workplace to determine what’s working and where there may be blockages to Flourishing. We will then sit down with you and determine a pathway of training, consultancy, and change implementation that is uniquely tailored to the needs of your organisation. Once you are on the path to Flourishing we’ll be able to accredit you as having a flourishing workplace, helping to make you an employer of choice in your industry.

The Flourishing Workplace process includes:

• Free diagnostic

• Free consultation on the results

• Tailored pathway to Workplace Flourishing

• Flourishing Workplace accreditation
