This course is a two-day course. 

This course has been developed to support understanding, recognition and management of the  impact of stress on wellbeing and mental health.  We will consider and practice a variety of ways to reduce stress and resilience, taking a mind and body approach.  Using current research, we will explore simple and easy techniques which can be implemented in your day to day routines, including how to reduce the risk of burnout and vicarious and secondary Trauma.

This course will cover

• What scientific evidence has taught us about stress manifests in the mind and body
• How our work can impact on our stress levels, including working with other people's stress and trauma.
• We will define the terms Burnout, Secondary Trauma, Vicarious Trauma, and Moral Injury and how and why people might experience these states
• How we might recognise the symptoms in ourselves and colleagues
• What good practice tells us about support for staff, personally and organisationally
• We will practice techniques to support ourselves to increase our own resilience to stress
• How to access the "rest and repair" part of our nervous system for improved short and long term mental and physical health

This course will cover both theory and physical practice and will be delivered through a mix of pre recorded material and live sessions in Teams.
