Artful Wellness goes above and beyond with their trainings to include the following additional supports:
De-escalation Training: If your team directly interfaces with the public — chances are they will face moments where things are heated, and they are expected to know what to do. We’ll train your team on our Observe, Breathe, Connect methodology to make sure your team is armed with de-escalation techniques so that they can show up into these moments as leaders.
Resilience Training: We’ll offer workshops to enhance your employee job satisfaction and community building for your team. Artful Wellness will provide tools for individuals to successfully manage stress, competing timelines, roles and responsibilities, while also facilitating better communication, conflict management and rapport across your team.
Digital Safety Training: We’ll teach your team how to prevent online harassment and violence through preventative measures designed to ensure their safety. We also offer training and consulting packages for management seeking to shore up their organization’s infrastructure to support their staff in the event of online harassment or violence.

Why 2 Hours?
While the mandated content is only an hour in length, we have found that interactive and experiential learning puts knowledge and skills to use in a meaningful and impactful way.
It’s not enough to “have knowledge;” you have to understand how, when and why to use it. Artful Wellness utilizes experiential learning and provides a safe environment for participants to practice and rehearse for work, just as a sports team, pilot or band would before the big show.
Here are five distinct advantages experiential learning has over traditional classroom, instructor-centric methods.
1. Ability to immediately apply knowledge
Experiential learning is an opportunity for learners to apply what they’ve been taught to solve real-world challenges. Learners test their understanding of underlying principles, processes and procedures and can experiment and adapt their practice to achieve best outcomes.
2. Access to real-time coaching and feedback
Achieving expertise requires practice and focused coaching based on what is observed during practice. Every experiential learning activity should include a debriefing session where learners receive feedback and coaching from experts and fellow team members.
3. Promotion of teamwork and communication skills
Most errors in the workplace involve a breakdown in communication and teamwork. Because the care of your customers is provided in a team, we should learn and practice in teams. Reading a book or listening to a lecture does not provide the same experience. You have to do it!
4. Development of reflective practice habits
The gold standard in education is the person who can self-monitor the effectiveness of their plan, anticipate outcomes and develop contingency plans. We often refer to these people as “experts.” They are expert because they have had more experiences and have received more coaching than a non-expert and have incorporated certain thinking disciplines into everyday practice. Experiential learning helps accelerate the journey from novice to expert.
5. Accomplishments are obvious
Learners can improve, and know they have improved, in as little as an hour because of the feedback loop created by problem solving, feedback and practicing again. In a traditional lecture setting, learners often do not know if they are on the path to success until they take an exam and get a score.
