FRONTLINE RESILIENCE
(TRAINING)

Real Tools for Real Challenges - Practical Resilience for Frontline Practitioners

Practitioners working in social work, youth work, and community services know that the demands of supporting others in complex and challenging environments can take a toll. Combating vicarious trauma, system fatigue, and the pressures of high-stakes work requires more than surface-level strategies—it demands practical tools that genuinely make a difference.

Frontline Resilience Training, delivered by Shayne Hood, takes a ‘for us, by us’ approach, ensuring the tools and strategies shared are relatable, actionable, evidence-informed, and grounded in lived experience. Shayne’s expertise and authenticity make this training a powerful resource for building strength and resilience where it matters most.
