Proud to share this from our founder, Sharon McCormick, in her role at The Listening Centre.

It's a good reminder of something we teach from day one here at Adept — safety first, staying present without rushing to fix, trauma-informed practice as standard, not an add-on.

Worth attending for our students, anyone who trained with us and sharing with your business network. ✨️

At The Listening Centre, we work with many organisations across the Midlands — including local authorities, public sector bodies, and private employers — supporting their people through workplace wellbeing provision that consistently outperforms industry benchmarks.

This World Su***de Prevention Day, we're sharing some of that expertise more widely — with the organisations that commission workplace wellbeing, and with the community groups and teams that support people directly, every day.

Creating Su***de-Safer Communities

📅 Thursday 10th September
🕚 11am – 12 noon
💻 Free, online webinar
📧 [email protected] to book your place

Before joining, please complete the Zero Su***de Alliance's free 30-minute online training — it's the foundation this session builds on, so we can spend our hour together going further, into the practical and reflective side rather than the basics.

Open to HR leaders, people managers, and anyone from a community group or organisation wanting to build suicide-safer practice in properly.

Led by Sharon McCormick, BACP Accredited Counsellor, founder of The Listening Centre, and recognised by BACP as a gold-standard EAP following BBC Radio 4's File on Four investigation.

"If anybody is thinking of doing this course — do it. You won't look back. It's amazing."

Lisa completed her Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills with us. Those are her words, not ours.

Part 3 of 3. And we still has a few places remaining. 💜

Halfway through the Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills, Lisa said this:

"It has changed me as a person for the better. I listen more carefully, I'm more attentive. I don't jump in. I don't judge. And we have a laugh!"

That's 15 weeks of Thursday evenings in Lichfield. Part 2 of 3. 💜

Part 3 coming Friday.

"We always think we're good at listening. But when you're put into situations, you realise your skills aren't as good as you think they are."

Lisa enrolled on our listening skills course and enjoyed it so much she came straight onto the Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills.

This course is for everyone.

Part 1 of 3. 💜
