This hands on, experiential workshop is a positive, empowering few hours where participants learn how they can proactively influence their psychological wellbeing. The key message is that responsibility for your wellbeing begins with YOU.
Interwoven into her own history with depression, Clare introduces some key concepts from neuro-science to help participants understand the important role our brain plays in our well-being. With those concepts as a basis, she then shares five simple strategies that can help everyone enhance their well-being.
The workshop is both evidence based (referring to neuro-scientific research) AND experiential – participants get to practice some of the strategies there and then in the session.
Far from being sombre, the workshop is empowering, positive and fun. Participants are challenged to take ownership of their mental wellbeing. “Nurture your brain, benefit your wellbeing”.

Target Audience: Offered in workplace settings, Flourish is an ideal program for organisations that are genuinely committed to enhancing the psychological wellbeing of their employees in a meaningful, sustainable way.

The Flourish program encourages participants to take ownership of their own mental wellbeing. Whilst workplaces do all they can to create a supportive and safe environment, ultimately it is the individual who can most powerfully affect their own psychological wellbeing. This series of workshops helps participants understand WHY the brain/mental wellbeing connection is so powerful, and teaches them HOW to positively influence their own mental wellbeing.

Compelling, insightful and at times confronting, Clare is an incredible wellbeing speaker. She cuts through the misconceptions and assumptions by sharing her own story of managing depression on and off since she was 17 years old.
In the first half of the talk she explains with sensitivity, honesty and intelligence what it ‘feels like’ to be depressed. Listeners learn that whilst depression is characterised by deep sadness, hopelessness and despair, it impacts so much more than your emotional state. Clare gives striking examples of how her cognitive abilities and physical health have been severely compromised during periods of deep depression.
In the second half of the talk, Clare explains with confronting honesty the moment she realised medication alone was not going to save her. She then shares the many strategies – most backed by neuro-scientific research –she now uses to reverse the downward spiral into depression before it becomes unmanageable. These strategies are tangible, simple, and relevant to everyone who needs to take care of their psychological well-being and learn how to ‘get off the bus’ to Rock Bottom.
