Blueprint for Learning

How do you check in on your own wellbeing in winter?

We’d love to know how else you check in on your own wellbeing. Share yours in the comments 💙

This Women’s Health Week, we’re opening up a conversation that too many workplaces are still avoiding: menopause.

Managers and leaders who understand this and have the tools to respond with genuine care make a real difference.

Our Leading Wellbeing at Work workshop helps leaders build that culture. Swipe to learn more and head to our website to book a workshop 💙

This week, the Blueprint for Learning team attended the NZ Disability Employers’ Network Conference, connecting with organisations across Aotearoa who are committed to building more inclusive workplaces 🤝

Accessibility isn’t an afterthought for us. Our workshops are built with flexible delivery options and disability accommodations so that everyone can take part, no matter how they learn best, because inclusion isn’t a checkbox; it’s foundational.

Thanks to everyone who attended and stopped by to see us!

This August, invest in your wellbeing at one of our free community workshops 💙

Whether you want to build your confidence supporting someone through a mental health challenge, or deepen your understanding of addiction, there’s something for you.

Swipe to see what’s on, then head to our workshop calendar to find a session near you.

Our kaiwhakaako (facilitators) were fortunate enough to hear from Paddy Gower at this year’s Blueprint Symposium.

Patrick’s kōrero highlighted his own journey with addiction, and the four pou he now lives by: connection, optimism, purpose, and a deep belief that change is possible for anyone. Hearing those principles from someone who has lived them made all the difference.

By strengthening our taha hinengaro (mental and emotional wellbeing) and sharing our authentic stories, we can create a safe space for others to do the same.

We recognise the importance of compassionate, evidence-based approaches to addiction and recovery.

At Blueprint for Learning, our focus is on building understanding and encouraging respectful conversations that help people feel safe to seek support. Our community Addiction 101 workshop provides a compassionate, evidence-based foundation for understanding addiction, prevention, and recovery.

Recently, our kaiwhakaako (facilitators), Haley Heldsinger and Diana Rands, travelled to Kerikeri to deliver our Addiction 101 workshop to kaimahi at the Far North District Council.

Drew Penny, Learning & Development Advisor, shared, “We had a fantastic workshop on Friday! The facilitators were amazing and the day was well-paced and highly engaging. We are looking forward to the next one!” ⭐

We cannot wait to return for an MH101 workshop in August. To bring this vital training to your team, no matter where you are in Aotearoa, visit our website to explore our private workplace workshops.

Sometimes the most powerful support comes from a simple kōrero ✨

At Blueprint for Learning, we believe deeply in the power of shared experiences and strengthening our taha whānau (community connection).
