In this session we will look at the importance of self-care and resilience at work.

For anyone in the caring profession, self-compassion and detachment are two key factors that can help you better manage workplace stressors and look after your mental well-being .

Self-compassion is the ‘ability to respond to ourselves in times of stress and / or distress with kindness and understanding and has been found to lead to lower rates of burnout and increased effectiveness with stress management.

Detachment is a coping strategy that focuses on your ability to detach mentally from the workplace, when not at work. A healthy level of detachment has been shown to improve emotional regulation among nurses and positively contribute to overall well-being.

We need to ensure that we are in a good place before we can effectively support others. We will explore so of the basics around resilience and self-care making sure that you understand the triggers and signs in both you and others and know how and where to access support.
