Culture of Care Framework
Sustainable Workplace Wellbeing
Burnout isn’t a personal failure.
It’s often the result of prolonged stress, increasing demands and the emotional load people quietly carry every day.
Rather than offering another one-off wellbeing session, the Culture of Care Framework helps organisations create lasting workplace wellbeing by embedding practical, sustainable strategies into everyday culture.
At its heart is Sustaining You, an engaging learning experience that helps participants understand stress, reconnect with themselves and develop realistic habits that support long-term wellbeing.
Participants learn how to:
- Understand the impact of stress and burnout on the brain and body
- Recognise early warning signs before reaching exhaustion
- Develop practical stress regulation strategies
- Build sustainable wellbeing habits
- Reconnect with personal values and purpose
Our approach is:
- Practical and immediately applicable
- Evidence-informed
- Authentic and relationship-centred
- Sustainable and focused on lasting change
- Tailored to the unique needs of your organisation
- Reinforced through ongoing wellbeing resources
When people flourish,
organisations flourish too.
Why Choose Deb & Me?
The name Deb & Me comes from a powerful experience early in Deb's career supporting a young child recovering from significant trauma.
As healing occurred, the child gradually replaced Deb in her drawings with her own mother, friends and community—a beautiful reminder that the ultimate goal of therapy is not dependence, but connection, confidence and secure relationships.
That experience continues to shape everything we do today.
Our focus isn’t on fixing people.
It’s about helping individuals, families, workplaces and communities build the relationships, resilience and confidence they need to thrive.
Because at Deb & Me, success isn’t measured by how long someone needs us, it’s measured by the confidence they gain to walk forward without us.
