Upcoming seminars

ENHANCING HEALTH AND WELL BEING THROUGH LEISURE AND RECREATION

17 March 2016

Learn about the importance of leisure and recreation activities in a process termed ‘Brain-Training’.

Recent medical research has highlighted the ability of the brain in people of all ages to ‘change itself’ by growing and reforming through a process known as neuro-plasticity. Leisure and recreation activities are known to impact on this process. Learn how in this exciting seminar.

WELLBEING IN OLDER POPULATIONS

21 April 2016

This workshop is designed for those working in the aged care industry, or who are caring for older people in their home.

Workers in the Australian aged-care system are known to experience burnout, compassion fatigue and high levels of stress. Learn how to integrate mindfulness-based stress-reduction techniques into your daily life, and to use these methods to assist others.

Specialist teachers
Experienced and highly qualified educators – specially selected for their skill and knowledge in the unique subject area – share their knowledge.

A taste of the Health and Social Wellbeing Masters
NTI Wellbeing Series seminars will give participants a sample of the unique and powerful learning available in NTI’s Health and Social Wellbeing (HSW) postgraduate courses. Individual subjects within these courses are also ideal to study for professional development and/or personal interest.
