With more than 45% of our social sector workforce exhausted, stressed or overwhelmed, new workplace mental health legislation in place, and a growing lag in achieving the global development goals – what can we do as a sector?

Join this important inaugural sector event.

Everyone's talking about psychosocial hazards, what exactly do they mean & how do I get across them for my organisation? 

The event is ideal for:

• Leaders and board members that want to get on the front foot.
• Team managers who want to upskill in this area.
• Team members responsible for Work, Health & Safety.
• Staff or volunteers who want to upskill in this area.

Underderstanding & Preventing the impacts of trauma

Did you know that about 20% of frontline workers go on to experience PTSD as a result of being exposed to the trauma of their clients? This has serious health and wellbeing costs for all concerned. In this training, we look at how to protect your staff and yourself from the impact of exposure to trauma of clients and colleagues. 
This one-hour masterclass session will support you to understand:

• The psychological nature of trauma and vicarious trauma.
• How to recognise the signs of trauma, burnout and compassion fatigue.
• Strategies to protect you & your staff against the impact of trauma & vicarious trauma.

Rolling natural and unnatural disasters, cost-of-living and other pressures are leaving our teams, and ourselves exhausted. Some organisations are also discovering they’re not compliant when it comes to having a mentally healthy workplace.

In this 60-minute masterclass, our workplace wellbeing specialist Leanne Hart will run you through our Wellbeing Strategy toolkit to help you review your existing strategies, and/or add new strategies to prevent and protect your team and volunteers from harm.

Leanne will also give you a tour of The Community Well resource hub, where you can access resources, tools, assessments & policies to support wellbeing, leadership & governance in 2024.
