Support That Goes Beyond Policy

It’s the small, human moments—offering calm, listening deeply, extending a hand—that create real, lasting impact.

Our Ambassador Programme is a practical, experiential training day for those supporting the emotional wellbeing of others.
It’s tailored for:

• Mental Health First Aiders & Wellbeing Champions
• Healthcare professionals and care staff
• Anyone on the frontline of emotional care and connection

Whether you’re holding space for colleagues, supporting clients in distress or offering compassionate care this
programme gives you the tools to make a grounded, gentle, and transformative connection.  

What the Day Covers

The Energy of Gentleness
Gentleness is not softness—it’s strength wrapped in peace.
We explore how gentleness soothes the nervous system, reduces reactivity, and builds emotional safety—for yourself and those around you.
Listening with Presence
Learn to listen without judgement, to know when to hold space, and when to signpost. These are the skills that deepen trust and connection.
The Power of Positive Touch
Discover the emotional and physiological benefits of caring touch.
You'll learn how to offer a simple, 20-minute therapeutic hand massage—a proven way to reduce anxiety, support sleep, relieve pain and tension, and enhance wellbeing.
Safeguarding & Reflective Practice
Includes safeguarding awareness, reflective discussion, and practical guidance on introducing this approach within your organisation.

Why This Matters

When we slow down enough to offer presence, gentleness and touch—we reconnect with the core of what it means to care.
There is nothing more supportive than this.
