Building Resilience in Teams and
Organisations
Specifically designed for health and community service leaders, system change
advocates, and people passionate about transformation
A two-day workshop for transforming health and community
services
th
11 and 12th June 2015
Dr Anne Markwick (UK) and Helen Glover (Aus)
Drawing on change theory and Anne’s own Doctoral research alongside Helen and Anne’s
practice, this two-day program will introduce participants to adaptive leadership and overcoming
barriers to change. Opportunities to reflect on their own practice, teams and organisations will
enable participants to consider how they will apply this new knowledge in the workplace and build
resilience in their own teams.
Participants will gain skills to assess current issues, make sense of the situation and understand
the potential barriers to change. They will learn about and practice design and implementation of
interventions for sustainable change leading to long term resilience and increased future adaptive
capability.
Dr Anne Markwick (UK)
Alongside Anne’s Doctoral research and her own practice as a change agent in the UK,
Anne will describe her own understanding of what resilience oriented practice is and the
principles that underpin it. Anne will talk about her experience of applying these principles
in mental health settings and beyond and how she uses these same principles in her own
practice as an organisational consultant.
Helen Glover (Aus)
Helen uses her professional background in social work and education, as well as her lived
experience of her own recovery from mental illness, to expand and challenge the concepts
of recovery-oriented practice within the mental health sector. She provides consultancy
and training services nationally and internationally on the opportunities, challenges and
tensions of creating recovery-oriented practice within services.
