Our groups are an eclectic mix of professional helpers and supporters. We have worked with trained mental health professionals, as well as preschool teachers, business leaders, insurance claims professionals and those in leadership roles in factory environments.

Anyone who is responsible for supporting others formally or informally is welcomed into the program.

Our coaching program aims to transform difficult topics and hard-to-learn tools into an easy way of being. For this reason, we believe you can never have too much practice and encourage you to attend all coaching calls.  We’ve been doing this for a long time and we learn something new from every group we work with!

In the Supporters Guide Programs, we acknowledge that we all fluctuate in our levels of burnout, compassion fatigue and in our participation in self-care. Developing our wellbeing is a process, and set of practices that we can fall off the wagon with. For this reason, we all benefit from the support of our small groups to remind us to look after ourselves and to monitor our own wellbeing. 

The program is not designed as a mental health treatment program, but rather a coaching program aimed at preventing, building and maintaining wellbeing.

Don’t get me wrong….. we love our cups of tea and massages here at Avinue, however this is not a cookie-cutter, one-day set-and-forget program where you don’t achieve results.

Our coaching program ensures that you are accountable to yourself over time and that you are likely to engage in real behaviour change. Unlike any other self-care program we’ve seen, we also use our knowledge from Psychology to help you address beliefs that may be keeping you stuck in patterns of putting others first, getting bogged down in high standards and self-sabotage.

The Complete Supporters Guide is made up of two smaller supporters Guide programs, The Supporters Guide to Transformative Care and The Supporters Guide to Wellbeing. Both sub-programs can be completed as a standalone or as part of the bundle.

Each of the sub-programs comprises of 4 60-90 minute coaching sessions with a small group of like-minded peers, where we embed skills, do practical activities and give and receive coaching to explore what’s working, what’s not, and how to make changes. Coaching sessions are completed via MS Teams (A platform similar to zoom and that you can access at no cost as a member of the group).

We try to keep things consistent and convenient. Coaching sessions are completed fortnightly across 8 weeks for each of the sub- Programs. We complete coaching sessions during the school term so that our parent participants don’t have to contend with family holidays and kids at home.

Our E-learning program is designed with time-poor professionals in mind. Each module is compromised predominately of video media and is approximately 60 minutes (with one longer 90-minute exception). Each video goes for only 5-15 minutes. As such the program is designed to be watched and absorbed in bite-sized chunks.

But don’t worry if you don’t get all the way through before the coaching session. You can still participate.

After you register for the program, keep an eye on your emails. You will be sent details for accessing the E-Learning modules and a Facebook community where we all remain connected.

You will be given instructions on how to register for your coaching calls via email.

Our team are available if you are having any troubles via [email protected]

You can access the program via any desktop or mobile device. Access via the mobile device is via the Kajabi App.

We believe people thrive in small, connected groups, where you don’t have to feel worried to speak up and be seen. For this reason, we limit group numbers to 12 people per group.

The coaching is where the real magic and the real change happens. It is where we gain insight into our patterns and hold ourselves accountable to making real change- rather than just doing tick-a-box learning. For this reason, the coaching sessions are the core component of the program and we do not offer the E-Learning alone.

But don’t worry we only have you share what you feel comfortable sharing and aim to create a group environment that fosters vulnerability and kindness.
