Speaking - Epione Training & Consultancy

Epione Training & Consultancy

In addition to our Training and Consultancy services, we also offer a spoken input service to meet the high demand for our expertise and insight into trauma responsive practice and establishing culture change within organisations and communities.

Our team of highly skilled trainers are also accomplished public speakers in their own right, with our co-founders having presented at international conferences, organisational development days and academic institutions such as Glasgow Caledonian University and Harvard McLean University in the United States.

Plus, with our commitment to having the voice of lived experience at the heart of everything we do, we are also able to offer a unique insight into adversity, trauma and recovery from the personal and professional perspective from our trainers like ‘recovering addict’, Aidan Martin MSc, author, social campaigner and activist. Or Maeve O’Boyle MSc who is a lived expert in addiction, mental health services and current psychological therapist and PhD student.

Our highly experienced and energetic speakers are ready and able to present for your audience. This includes workshops, awareness days, development days, motivational sessions or as Keynote speakers at conferences for example, whether online or in-person.

Whatever you need, just say the word and we’ll say the rest.

Here at Epione, our vision is clear:

to Create a Trauma Informed and Responsive Scotland and beyond.

"As a leader in public services, I have seen the transformation in the organisation, in the growth of strong, trusting relationships between workers and the people they work with and support."

"The possibilities are endless!! Little things like how to engage with clients, any priorities, how I would like co-workers to engage with clients. Bigger things: challenging how the organisation looks and feels for the people we serve."

“I can still remember my first Epione lightbulb moment, March 2019, everything through their teaching TI lens made sense. Working with Epione to support our transformational plan 3 years on and the bulb is still lighting up! With Epione the TIP principles are always very much alive ‘in the room.’ If as a country, we’re serious about healing and lasting change, everyone needs to get on this training”.
