Nicole and Jen, as accredited IMPACT train-the-trainers, recently delivered the IMPACT Foundations training for staff and foster carers at Uniting Country SA. Here is their “respond rather than react” brain in action.

With a long-standing commitment to best-practice support, UCSA continues empowering carers — and we’re proud that LBI can support this important work.

Our LBI partner community knows that the concept of being grounded is at the heart of everything we do. When we are grounded, we are able to respond rather than react — ensuring our own needs are met while also being fully present to support the needs of those entrusted to our care.

As we approach Christmas — along with the busyness, pressure, and expectations that often come with it — grounding becomes more important than ever.

One simple but powerful strategy is to name and reactivate your grounding practices. What helps you feel centred and present in action?

We love this example from our partner network, Compass Catholic Community, who have created a dedicated grounding resource wall. It’s a brilliant way to embed grounding into everyday language, learning, and support.

Could grounding — or a word that resonates for you — become part of your daily conversations and intentional practice?

Let’s keep supporting ourselves, so we can continue supporting each other. 🌱✨
