Our services are based on trauma-informed, evidence-based and culturally sound practices, combining generations of First Nations healing knowledge with Western psychological and neurological sciences.

Most training stops at knowledge. Our coaching, available online or in-person, is an optional addition for participants who want to embed real, lasting change into how they work with community, clients and colleagues every day, alongside Indigenous trauma-informed health professionals.
1–2 days of dedicated coaching, delivered online or in-person, during or after completing the online training modules. Led by Indigenous trauma-informed health professionals, sessions focus on applying your learnings to real scenarios in your specific workplace or community context.
Cultural safety and trauma-informed practice are not just concepts to understand; they are skills to live and work by. Coaching is how we ensure the training doesn’t sit on a shelf. It changes the way you work.
Coaching is available as a standalone add-on to the online modules or as part of a bespoke in-person program. Contact us to discuss options for your team.

One helpful thing I will take away from this workshop is a better understanding of the different traumas and the effect on your body. The window of tolerance and how you can regulate your emotions to change your behaviour. My favourite part of the training was that the presenters are relatable and their understanding of trauma is extensive.

I will welcome the Seedling Group back into the Torres Strait at any time, because of their professionalism, and cultural awareness in general, that gives our participants a sense of belonging and ownership.
Thank you so much to The Seedling Group for the fantastic training! The whole day was incredible. I felt cared for throughout the day, made meaningful connections with the fellow attendees, and learned much about myself, and working with priority communities. I cannot speak more highly of the facilitators! Much gratitude and thanks.
I loved how you sat different knowledge systems beside one another and helped me delve deeper into unknown territory. The presentation was well-paced and informative. I loved the Padlet and additional resources!! Well done on pulling together the evidence-base and then putting these many concepts forward in easy-to-follow and understanding language illustrated with many examples and stories. Thank you for such a rich learning experience.
This is a brilliant course. The delivery is exceptional. It makes it easier to remember the content because it is delivered in a friendly and relaxed manner. The check ins and out were a great extra tool to learn
I feel the use of a mixture of resources – Indigenous and Western, worked well and increased my knowledge base. The perspectives shared through life and work experiences of the two presenters provided me with deep insight and awareness around trauma. The information provided and broad coverage of content along with the checking in and checking out kept me safe as some personal trauma experiences arose in me.

Coaching is a 1-2 day program, an online or in-person workshop, and can be done during the training. It's designed to help you apply what you’ve learned in the modules to real situations in your workplace or community. For online sessions, we can work with you to find a frequency and timing that fits your team's schedule. It’s led by Indigenous trauma-informed health professionals. It’s ideal for teams or organisations who want to make sure the training actually changes the way they work, not just what they know.
