A comprehensive program of training and support meetings comprises the 2010 Mandala Foundation Workshop Program.
The combination of workshops offered aims to increase awareness and understanding of the psychosocial risks faced by aid workers on assignment and to provide psychological information and practical solutions to mitigating the impact of stress and increasing psychological resilience.
The Mandala Foundation promotes a shared responsibility model of staff support; encouraging organisations, managers, staff and volunteers to work together for the prevention, management and treatment of stress in aid workers.
This systematic approach is reflected in the 2010 workshop program with training and meetings offered to develop and enhance organisational systems of staff support, strengthen managerial staff support capacity, prepare individual aid workers for assignment and educate mental health professionals as well as families and friends in helpful ways to psychologically support aid workers.
The program encourages the integration of psychosocial care strategies in every context of operational management and at every phase of a deployment. A whole staff team approach is considered in all facets of training incorporating issues particularly pertinent to expatriate as well as national and local staff.
The 2010 workshop program has been developed in consultation with Australian aid agencies and adapted to the training needs and interests reported by them.

Timing Not Right?
If you are interested in a particular workshop but are unable to attend on the date scheduled please register your interest by emailing the Programs Manager: programs@mandalafoundation.org.au
We will try to find alternative ways of offering support for specific needs and interests. If there is sufficient interest to hold a workshop at a time of year other than the scheduled date, we will try to accommodate those requests.
Tailored Training
All workshops offered by the Foundation can be tailored to meet the needs of individual organisations or groups and delivered at a time and location convenient to those requesting tailored training.
Training can either be delivered at the Foundation or at any other location (nationally or internationally) convenient for the organisation requesting services.
