Programs

Mental Health Awareness

Mental Health Awareness

What mental health actually is, starting from scratch. Clear definitions, the data behind them, and a picture of the continuum from healthy to struggling. We unpack stress, anxiety and depression without the poster version, in a way that fits the life you actually live.

Mental Health Conversations

Mental Health Conversations

What to say when someone you care about is struggling, and what to steer clear of. We use a four-part framework built on what genuinely helps people feel heard, including the things that feel supportive but actually shut the conversation down. You get language to use and time to practise it.

Stepping Up for Others and Yourself

Stepping Up for Others and Yourself

What to do when someone needs more than you've got, and how to notice when that someone is you. We look at how your own experiences shape how you respond, how to be a useful presence without burning out, and when to bring someone else in.

How we deliver

Program formats

Webinar

Reach the room without filling it.

An online, shareable broadcast — accessible to large groups without travel. Best suited to awareness-level content and broad team onboarding.

Online

Workshop energy. No commute.

Live, interactive sessions delivered via video. Workshop-style, small-to-medium groups, with real-time practice and discussion built in.

In-person

The format that builds the most.

Delivered on-site at your location. More immersive and relational, and our pick where skill practice and group dynamics matter most.

The approach

Theory only goes so far.

Dot Arc Labs training is designed to be immediately applicable. Every session prioritises tools participants can use the moment they walk out the door.

Led by psychologist Sam Weily, each program is built around the actual needs of the people doing the work, co-designed where possible and honest about how hard the work can be.

01
Skills-first design

Participants leave with tools they can put to use straight away.

02
Strengths-based lens

We build from what's already working, for people, teams, and organisations.

03
Contextually grounded

Adapted to the specific sector, population, and team, never pulled off the shelf.

04
Trauma-informed throughout

A trauma-informed lens runs through everything: escalation, culture, communication.

05
Psychologically sound

Built on current psychological research and evidence, not recycled tropes.

Priced around your context.

Every engagement is scoped individually. Format, duration, group size, and organisation type all shape what makes sense, so get in touch and we'll figure it out together.
