Legal, Corporate and Commercial Training and Consultation

Expertise you can confidently
rely on

The health and well-being of employees is an important aspect of doing business. Occupational health and safety is not only a legal requirement, it boosts productivity and retention of valuable employees through prioritising people’s lives both in and out of the workplace. 

Naomi has thirty-five years experience in the field of complex trauma providing therapy and supervision, and fifteen years experience collaborating with the United Nations, law firms, financial institutions, Justice departments, private and public organisations. 

She provides training and consultation to meet the mental health and wellbeing needs of employees and clients in high stress environments.   

Naomi will work with you to design training to meet the specific needs and requirements of your organisation embedded in principles of trauma informed awareness and practice.

What Corporate & Commercial Clients Say About Training with Naomi Halpern

Susan Green, National Learning and Development Manager, Maurice Blackburn Lawyers

"I am writing to convey my sincere appreciation for your work and dedication. As the pandemic announcement was approaching, you immediately answered my call for assistance. This year, we have reached almost 4,000 individuals with wellness activities and training workshops, nearly triple our usual reach. You developed new materials, including support to families dealing with pandemic related stressors; caregivers build skills to provide psychosocial support for COVID patients; raise awareness of domestic violence risks; and stress management of a new normal. These new tools will benefit UN Personnel across the globe throughout the pandemic. Your work has a global impact on our UN Personnel, and I want to thank you again for your efforts and dedication."

Dawn Straiton, DNP, MSN, Chief Staff Counsellors’ Office, Department of Operational Support, UNHQ

"A very big thank you for your involvement in our leadership program. While of course changing the culture of financial services is a huge task, it’s through many small interventions and conversations that we can make change, and last week’s conversation had a really big impact for those leaders in the room. We really saw a shift over the week in how each of them was thinking about our customers and understanding the human face and impact of these experiences. We are so grateful that you were willing to partner with us and to help our leaders grow and understand these issues in a different way."

Naomi McQuaid, Talent Management, National Australia Bank
