Are you working or volunteering in a community oriented and/or service-oriented role? Are you interested in supporting yourself and others in challenging work environments so as to avoid burnout. Are you interested in being better able to bring about positive change through your role? Are you interested in reflecting with others, and learning about the under-lying assumptions, motivations, feelings and beliefs that shape your practice, whether paid or voluntary? Are you interested in being better able to bring about positive change in the organisation or systems you are involved with, or in your community? This SHEP course starting in October 2026 may be of interest.

This course will be of interest to a wide range of practitioners, paid or voluntary, involved in various roles in Community and Voluntary groups, social service agencies, public or local authority (e.g. education, youth and community work, social work, childcare, healthcare, housing, inter-agency work etc.).

The course aims to:

• Provide for 12 participants a space to reflect together on their prior and current practice experiences.
• Explore the assumptions, values, beliefs and feelings that underpin participants’ ways of being active in their settings.
• Strengthen practitioner capacities (insight, resilience, self-compassion) to support organisations and systems evolve and align values.
• Enhance capacity to co-create space for personal and group learning from practice reflection.
