Section 6: Staff Wellbeing

Your staff are the key component in the quality of the support survivors receive and ultimately the outcomes survivors achieve. It is impossible to support survivors to a high standard if the staff team’s wellbeing is compromised. And while the work is important and rewarding, it can also be difficult and emotionally challenging.

In order to give the best support to others, it is important to have a plan in place to look after yourself and the wider staff team, as well as encouraging a positive wellbeing culture across the organisation.
