People often ask what makes a strong clinical team.

It’s not just qualifications. It’s what happens every single week behind the scenes.

At Willingness, we invest consistently in our team:

Every week we meet to discuss real cases, challenge each other, and learn from what’s actually happening in the room. We also run structured training sessions focused on practical skills, not just theory.

Every 4th Saturday, we go even deeper with dedicated team training.

And on top of all of this, each professional receives individual supervision every two weeks.

This is time, energy, and money invested purely into getting better at what we do.

Because doing this work well isn’t optional. It’s a responsibility.

This morning Dr. Yaser Teebi shared findings, and clinical implications from his PhD research about Dementia.

How is intergenerational trauma passed on through caregiving?

When someone becomes a parent, the emotional patterns they grew up with often resurface. These patterns, shaped by past trauma or unmet attachment needs, can quietly echo across generations.

In this video, Dr Gwen Adshead speaks about how parenthood can reshape the emotional mind and why this moment is key to breaking the cycle of intergenerational trauma.

This May, Dr Adshead will be leading a two day CPD workshop in Malta that focuses on the emotional world of caregiving, the impact of trauma across generations, and how professionals can support parents and children through reflection, connection and repair.

This month’s Pause & Connect circle invites a different kind of conversation.

A gentle space to explore money, security, and planning for the future, with room to reflect on independence, financial wellbeing, and the realities many women carry quietly.

The session will be guided by Abigail Barbara, a financial advisor with a focus on women, offering insight into topics such as pensions, savings, and planning ahead, alongside space for shared reflection on fears and hopes around financial freedom.

As always, this remains a safe and respectful space, where participation is led by choice. You are welcome to listen, reflect, or share only what feels right for you.
