Blog Posts: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Various fields, including law, information technology, and psychology, converge with mediation, counseling, the arts, and support services.

Blog Posts: Interdisciplinary
The posts provide regular updates, for example, on our services and philosophies. The fields of mediation, counselling, the arts, and supports necessitate interdisciplinary approaches and an understanding of human needs, situations, and issues. Various field perspectives merge two or more domains to achieve a higher level of integration.
Interdisciplinarity goes beyond a simple combination of parts. It acknowledges that each discipline can impact the practice and research foundation of the whole, often yielding outcomes that are greater than the sum of its parts. This harmonious blend leads to a form of holism where the disciplines inform and deepen understanding about mediation, counselling, the arts, and supports, resulting in something new.
Blog Posts: People and Planet
Peoples’ social and ecological well-being are closely connected to the planet’s sustainability (Jurjonas, 2024; Stanworth, Kelvin, & Morris, 2024). Let’s create a world where human flourishing abounds!
Blogs provide a platform to contemplate important social and climatic themes and patterns, and they can also influence social and learning environments (Caldwell & Heaton, 2016). Additionally, blogs can help create learning organisation and promote synergy. Nonetheless, it is important for people from different disciplines to address language ambiguity and misinterpretation (Black, 2023). The arts have their own distinct knowledge-based boundaries. An interdisciplinary approach incorporating the arts, can help us understand challenges faceing both people and planet, including global warming (Graham, 2023).
Generally, the personal and security implications of human needs, values, ideas, and beliefs cover a broad spectrum of multidimensional and interdisciplinary viewpoints. Services and philosophies such as mediation, counselling, the arts, and support are designed to address various human needs and contexts.
