CORPORATE PROGRAMS
Caring about and taking care of your people is one of your top priorities. But it doesn't have to be stressful. We offer fully customizable content, developed with the support of a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). It's essential training for your teams - and better yet, it's training that they will enjoy and engage with!

All modules are available in-person or virtual (live). Nothing is pre-recorded - you get Emily, live, each time! Below are some popular topics, and custom trainings are always available.
Hover over any topic title for a brief description.
FOR EMPLOYEES
Trainings for employees can range in size from small groups/teams to hundreds of staff. Additionally, anything listed in this section can certainly be made available also to organization leaders, managers, executives, or board members.
FOR TEAM LEADERS, MANAGERS & DIRECTORS
This collection of topics provides key personnel in your organization with leadership and management support which enhances the mentoring experienced members are able to provide, and provides skills emerging leaders can put directly into practice. Any of these topics can stand alone (all can be adjusted to shorter executive-paced "lunch and learns"), or we can put together a set of modules that are offered to all employees when they "level up."
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Why are these trainings so important?Mental health interventions in the workplace help attract and retain talent, reduce controllable health risks, mitigate the stress employees naturally experience as a by-product of their job, combat stress from external sources (COVID-19, life stress, traumas), and improve overall productivity and mindset.
-
We have an EAP (Employee Assistance Program). Isn't that enough?Having resources available, such as an EAP, is a great first step and you should be proud of that. However, studies show that many employees don’t feel safe accessing services or approaching others to ask for help. It requires a culture in the organization from the top down that says, “it’s OK to ask.” Additionally, in workplaces where high output is prized, employees may feel that slowing down or getting help will paint them as unproductive or risky. Providing trainings like the ones Emily offers creates a collective understanding and acceptance, from the top down, for the entire organization. Additionally, colleague-to-colleague support is an essential piece of the puzzle, and it is not something that EAP programs are designed to provide. Emily’s trainings allow each employee to build their personal resilience while also learning how to identify concerns for, and provide help to, their coworkers.
-
Why should I worry about employee burnout? Everyone is stressed. It goes away, right?"Stress and burnout are related, but they are two different things. The easiest way to think of burnout is by an equation: Burnout = stress + inadequate support resources. Burnout causes employees to think “I’m bad at this work” and “I don’t even like it or care.” Burnout can cause good employees to abandon a career instead of seeking rest and support. By increasing support resources, we help employees reevaluate their stress within the context of their career, rather than by quitting because they think it’s the only way to feel whole.
-
Aren't these people who are burning out or getting stressed just bad employees anyways?On the contrary, studies have shown that those employees who care most about their work, their workplace, and their colleagues are the most likely to burn out. They are often so committed that they lose sight of how to pace themselves. These are high-value people in your organization and it is in your best interest to do everything possible to support them!
-
Do you have a flyer I can show my boss about all of this?Yes, actually we do!
